GVAD is sharing this information:
The British Columbia Cultural Society of the Deaf (BCCSD) is currently not an active organization, following its dissolution in 2020. Since the February 2025 AGM, the Board has been working to restore BCCSD and return it to good standing under the BC Societies Act.
As part of this process, we are committed to transparency and community engagement. Community sessions were previously held in Burnaby (May 4) and Surrey (October 4), and we now invite the community to participate in two upcoming in-person meetings.
Community Town Hall – January 24, 2026
This session will focus on bylaw review, a proposed budget, and open community dialogue.
A Slido link will be open January 9–16, 2026 for advance questions. Meeting materials will be shared by email prior to the session.
Annual General Meeting (AGM) – February 28, 2026
The AGM will address required society business in accordance with BCCSD bylaws and the BC Societies Act.
Only members may vote. The public is welcome to attend as observers.
Membership fee: $10. RSVP deadline: February 20, 2026.
