BC Election 2024: DABC's Election Asks

DABC has prepared a document that aims to highlight key election issues within the disability community and advocates for a provincial government that actively includes people with disabilities in shaping the future of our province. You can download it here: https://disabilityalliancebc.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/DABC-Key-Election-Priorities.docx.

Within the document, we have identified our election asks and categorized them into 5 key priority areas. The election priorities have been distributed to each political party. DABC will publish to our network any party responses we may receive.

In addition to our election asks, as a member of the BC Poverty Reduction Coalition (BC PRC), Disability Alliance BC supports the election advocacy presented by the BC PRC in their factsheet, which can be found here.
