Welcome to BCCPD

For over 30 years, the BC Coalition of People with Disabilities (BCCPD) has been a provincial, cross-disability voice in British Columbia.

Our mission is to raise awareness around issues that affect the lives of people who live with a disability. We also work to secure the necessary income supports for people with disabilities to live with dignity, and increase their ability to participate and contribute in their communities.

Our activities include:

working for change with all levels of government on policies and attitudes that affect people with disabilities (see Community Alerts, Community Campaigns and Programs & Services)
promoting public awareness of emerging issues through special projects, events and the media (see Projects)
providing individual and group advocacy for people with disabilities (see Advocacy Access)
developing educational publications for people with disabilities, governments and the public, and sharing self-help skills with individuals and disability groups (see Publications)
serving on government and community-based committees

We hope you will explore this website and learn more about our programs and services. Please feel free to contact us for more information.
