THINK TWICE

Why do we call our campaign Think Twice? Because persons living with a disability in British Columbia do not have the legal rights and protections they believe that they have. Anyone and everyone, as a result of an accident, an illness or merely by getting older can become vulnerable. And that’s why everyone needs to get involved in this campaign.

 

In order to build towards the ultimate goal of a “British Columbians with Disability Act”, Civil Rights Now! proposes that the following be made into law:

• The Community Care (Direct Payments) Act

• The Civil Rights of Persons in Community Care Act

We believe these complementary statutes will provide an effective legal foundation for persons with disabilites to gain access to some of the same legal rights and protections as currently enjoyed by other British Columbians.
