Researchers at the Centre for Chronic Disease Prevention and Management at UBC Okanagan have teamed up with Ontario-based Abilities Centre to launch a national COVID-19 disability survey.
So, what makes this survey different from everyone else’s survey happening right now? The disability community will have access to the information from these surveys. This survey is not a snapshot in time, or used for any purposes other than to identify the needs of our community. The information collected will help develop meaningful advocacy, strategies and actions that will work towards meeting these needs. This survey will address needs over the long term, and questions will be informed directly by our disability community.
Home Sharing is a residential option that provides safe, nurturing, community-based, shared living arrangements for adults with diverse abilities.

Join us for the next round of conversations on the proposed Canadian Disability Benefit!
You may have previously joined us for part one of this series: At long last, a Canada Disability Benefit is coming – What should it look like? The collaboration of individuals, groups, coalitions and organizations from across Canada have come together again to offer a free, 4-part webinar series throughout November on Building momentum for the Canadian Disability Benefit.
This new series will have us learn from four Canadians with expertise and experience at system change. Together we will learn from other successful movements, strengthen the power of the Canadian disability movement, and clarify the roles we all play in supporting disability leadership.
This series will have live French-English translation, English live caps, ASL & LSQ interpretation and plain language.
We hope you will join us for this conversation, and on this journey of ensuring that together we secure a Canadian Disability Benefit that is meaningful, inclusive and ends disability poverty.
