Update: DABC’s Response to COVID-19

March 20, 2020 by DABC

Dear DABC Community:

We wanted to provide an update about what DABC is doing in the context of the quickly evolving situation around COVID-19. During our temporary office closure, we are actively working on systems to deliver as many of our services as possible remotely. We will provide updates here and on our website when those services are available.

In the meantime, we have been in contact with various provincial and federal ministries, and are actively working with other groups to advocate for emergency supports for people living on low incomes and people with disabilities. We will do our best to update on new supports if and when they are announced.

Thank you for your understanding – we hope everyone is staying safe.

Open by Appointment Only

Since 1977, Disability Alliance BC has been a provincial, cross-disability voice in British Columbia. Our mission is to support people, with all disabilities, to live with dignity, independence and as equal and full participants in the community. We champion issues impacting the lives of people with disabilities through our direct services, community partnerships, advocacy, research and publications.

We acknowledge and have deep gratitude to work together on the unceded traditional territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓ əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and Selíl̓witulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations of the Coast Salish people. We honour the many territorial keepers of the lands.
