Government Expels Voices of People with Disabilities and Their Families!
November 20, 2009
The North Shore Disability Resource Centre is in full support of the BC Association of Community Living’s (BCACL) outrage at the government’s decision to repeal sections of the Community Living Authority Act. This Acts ensures people with disabilities and family members are representative on the governing board of Community Living BC.
CLBC is a crown agency that provides services to people with developmental disabilities. The proposed changes outlined in Bill 20, passed a third reading in the legislature on Wednesday, November 18. The NDP was opposed to the changes. There was no consultation with the community and there wasn’t any notice given to community stakeholders of this impending change
