Disability Alliance Community Update
  
Disability Alliance BC (DABC), effective May 2018, the Ministry of Social Development and Poverty Reduction will provide funding for aircasts/walking boots for people who are eligible for health supplements. Eligible individuals include:
  • Recipients of Persons with Disabilities (PWD) benefits
  • Recipients of Persons with Persistent Multiple Barriers to Employment benefits (PPMB)
  • Income Assistance and PWD recipients residing in special care facilities
  • People who have a life threatening health need
DABC is encouraged by this expansion of health supports for people with disabilities and thank Minister Shane Simpson for his leadership in introducing this much needed policy improvement. DABC recognizes that many British Columbians with disabilities continue to experience barriers accessing other needed medical equipment and services and will continue to share our concerns about this with the Minister and his staff.

Kardel Office News

Kardel said 'good bye' to office extraordinaire Kim L and welcomed Micki to the team. Kim's professionalism and attention to detail will be greatly missed, however we couldn't be happier for Kim's next adventure...


     From Kim: A year ago I started to pay attention to a recurring dream I had to open a coffee shop with inclusive hiring practices, providing the opportunity to employ adults with developmental disabilities. What started out as an idea in January turned into a business plan with a possibility, and NOW it's becoming a reality. Early July, I will take possession of the Moka House at Admirals Walk directly across from Thrifty Foods. I will close for renovations, but plan to open by mid-September. Watch out for the grand opening of A Kinder Cup'!
