Disability Action of Canada's 'Raise the Rates (PWD) Rally & Rave (with DJ)'
Disability Action of Canada is organizing a “Raise the Rates (PWD) Rally & Rave (with DJ)” event at the B.C. Legislature steps & lawn on May 15th – 1pm to 3pm in Victoria.
It will feature speakers (politicians and advocates) and the media will be invited. A DJ will play chill & flow music to close out the event.
Through this event, Disability Action of Canada wants to put public pressure on the BC government to immediately increase the Persons with Disabilities (PWD) Benefit by $300/month for ALL recipients – regardless of shelter status.
Introducing: Disability Alliance Canada!
April 4th, 2025
Disability Alliance BC (DABC) is excited to announce the creation of a new national non-profit organization: Disability Alliance Canada (DAC).
DAC is a separate, stand-alone non-profit operating under direct leadership from DABC’s Executive Director.
Additionally, several of DABC’s Board of Directors also sit on DAC’s board. In this way, DAC’s mission and mandate are intentionally aligned with DABC’s: DAC’s mission is to promote a more inclusive and equitable society for people with all disabilities across Canada through direct services, community partnerships, systemic advocacy, research, and publications.
Over the past several years, we have come to realize that the work DABC does, particularly in providing in-depth direct service support to clients, is not consistently provided in other provinces and territories. DABC’s level of knowledge and experience on supporting clients with our direct services is something of which we are especially proud to provide to the disability community in BC. Our aim in establishing DAC as a national non-profit is to expand our direct services across the country, starting with offering support for Disability Tax Credit (DTC) and Canada Pension Plan – Disability (CPP-D) applications.
This step marks a significant milestone in our efforts to extend our reach and further our impact on a broader scale across Canada. With the formation of this new, independent entity, DABC will continue our work in BC, while DAC will work to serve disability communities in all other provinces and territories.
We remain deeply committed to our mission and values, and we thank everyone who has supported us on this journey. Please stay tuned for more updates from DAC through our separate website, including new job openings.

We encourage you to share this announcement amongst your networks – thank you for your support.
