While there's always more to do, that work MUST include an accountability framework taking responsibility for QUALITY education outcomes for students with disabilities. #AllStudentsBelong #inclusiveed #publiced thetyee.ca/News/2024/04/2… @RachnaSinghNDP @humanrights4BC @BCSTA_News
Every year, over 600 people gather to learn, celebrate, network, and share real stories for disability inclusion. Thanks to our Keynote Sponsor, Representative for Children and Youth @RCYBC , for its generous support of Everybody Belongs 2024. inclusionbc.org/our-services/c…
In case you missed our ED Karla Verschoor on @bctoday talking about the disproportional impact of the housing crisis on people with disabilities, you can listen here (story starts around 30:00 and Karla joins the conversation at about 36:00) ow.ly/GPzb50Roz07
We need timely access to assessments for kids. At the same time, according to BC law, students should receive the supports they need regardless of having a diagnosis. cbc.ca/news/canada/br… #KidsCantWait #inclusiveed #publiced
When we design with accessibility in mind, we often find unexpected benefits for everyone. Nice work, @KwantlenU ow.ly/UOuH50Roxln
“We would be calling on all parties to not pass the federal budget until there is a commitment to increase funding for the benefit,” said Krista Carr, the executive vice-president of Inclusion Canada. thestar.com/politics/feder…
Today at 12:30pm, our Executive Director Karla Verschoor will be on @bctoday w/ @michelle_eliot to talk about new data showing that people w/ disabilities are evicted from their homes at higher rates. Listen at 88.1 or online: cbc.ca/listen/live-ra…
We love this advice from Sandra Pronteau, advocate for people with disabilities and women experiencing poverty and homelessness. Recently, Sandra received @DAWNRAFHCanada ’s National Hummingbird Award. Read her inspiring story here: inclusionbc.org/sandra-prontea…
We need strong shared leadership from both the federal and provincial governments to pull everyone currently receiving PWD benefits above the poverty line. ow.ly/UtL750RnllK.
“We’ve been lied to, we’ve been played again … the government has abandoned us and has forgotten us,” @princepolity said in an interview with the @TorontoStar on Friday. ow.ly/X2rn50RlIhN
Thank you to @CBCEarlyEdition Stephen Quinn for being a great journalist and an ally to the disability community by doggedly asking for clarity and accountability from the federal gov’t in this interview, (starting at around 6 min) cbc.ca/player/play/vi…
“We’re not convinced it’s even going to reach that many people. We’re hoping we can do some quick reform,” Karla Verschoor, with Inclusion BC, said. “I think the message was loud and clear that people were disappointed and frustrated” ‘A real letdown’: globalnews.ca/news/10440683/…
Ideas sparked at our Everybody Belongs conference turn into movements. Thanks to our Groundbreaker sponsors for supporting the advancement of disability rights: inclusionbc.org/our-services/c…
With #Budget2024 now out, here's a summary of some key funding opportunities that impact the non-profit housing sector... 🧵1/5 globalnews.ca/news/10427435/…
Summer jobs for teens in Delta! Our member Delta Community Living Society (DCLS) is partnering with researchers from @UBC on an employment program for youth with developmental disabilities or autism aged 16 to 19. Register by May 17 ow.ly/4lR150Rim3a
"What really counts is not what the federal government promises in funding but how quickly those commitments are rolled out to the non-market housing sector to become homes for people to feel safe, raise families, and thrive.” -Margaret Pfoh, AHMA CEO ➡️ ahma-bc.org/news-
To say we are disappointed is an understatement. Today's announcement on the CDB is woefully inadequate. Full statement to come soon.
Details of Canada Disability Benefit program unveiled in #Budget2024 - no benefit until July 2025 - Disability Tax Credit eligibility - maximum annual benefit $2,400 - covers just half of persons with disabilities in poverty
One more way PWD pushed unfairly into poverty: Stats Canada reports that disabled people are overrepresented among recent evicted tenants. Within sample of evictees, 28% have disability — more than double the proportion within the survey population. cbc.ca/news/canada/br…
Did you see our Associate Director Yat Li on @GlobalBC Friday morning? He spoke to the benefits of inclusive hiring for both the employee and employer, from the perspective of having been both as a person with a disability himself. Watch the segment: globalnews.ca/video/10419396…

@shitty_ally @BCANDS1 Unfortunately the government caters to the majority. They are using this ill framed survey to justify their decision. We know if it was asked a different way there would be a different response. Vote on @InclusionCA unscientific poll to offer alternative outcome.

No new info from @KamalKheraLib at #HUMA. Despite pressing questions from @TracyGrayKLC, @BonitaZarrillo & other committee members, there are no answers from gov't about why the #CanadaDisabilityBenefit is so inadequately funded and #inaccessible to #pwd. We expect & demand more.
@KamalKheraLib @TracyGrayKLC @BonitaZarrillo A few key highlights from #HUMA today: “The budget announced on the CDB proved that your gov't ignored input of PWD and has decided to legislate poverty for PWD rather than reduce it. PWD called for an adequate benefit that was easy to access w/ no clawbacks for P/Ts..." 1/?
@KamalKheraLib @TracyGrayKLC @BonitaZarrillo "Your gov't has chosen to do none of these things. This gov't never seems to run out of money for giant corps and rich CEOS, but when it comes to the critical support promised to PWD, suddenly, the offer is crumbs. 2/?
@KamalKheraLib @TracyGrayKLC @BonitaZarrillo "$200 a month is offensive, and you’ve seen the response from Canadians – they are not happy. You choose to ignore years of input from the disability community and bring forward a $200 benefit that is tied to the inaccessible DTC." - @BonitaZarrillo to @KamalKheraLib at #HUMA
@KamalKheraLib @TracyGrayKLC @BonitaZarrillo “You told the people in the disability community that you would catch them when they fell. You gave them these promises, and then not only did you not catch them, you stepped out of the way and didn’t tell them.” - @mferreriptbokaw at #HUMA
@KamalKheraLib @TracyGrayKLC @BonitaZarrillo @mferreriptbokaw There is nothing in what is being proposed that actually came from the disability community.
