BC Office for Disability Issues

BC Office for Disability Issues

The BC Office for Disability Issues reviews and develops government policy and legislation pertaining to Persons with Disabilities. It is a direct connection to government for persons with disabilities and is responsible for facilitating an enhanced relationship between the provincial government, other governments, persons with disabilities, their families, allies and supporters, communities of persons with disabilities, and organizations of and representing persons with disabilities.

The Office for Disability Issues is a policy and planning office rather than a program and client-service
office. They review policy and legislation which may affect persons with disabilities, and recommends action across provincial government ministries. They inform and educate public policy makers, facilitate
public education on disability issues, attitudes and assumptions; and report on government policies, initiatives and progress in resolving disability inequity.

Advocacy for disability issues from inside of government.
