Not a surprise, but happy it is official. There will be a full exemption of the Canada Disability Benefit in B.C. Meaning anyone who collects it gets to keep it all. Right decision. news.gov.bc.ca/releases/2024…

My congratulations to @ProfTimSUBC on retirement. It was a pleasure to learn about and promote his research when I worked at UBC, and to count him a friend and appreciate his many contributions when I went on to work at CLBC. #respect.
We wish you all the best @ProfTimSUBC on your retirement. Thank you for your collaboration and excellant work advocating for inclusion. Your contributions are many. We know you will stay close to our movement and we look forward to your continued expert advice and input to come.

Earlier this week, Minister of Social Development & Poverty Reduction @s_malcolmson met with self advocates (who joined in-person & virtually) at CLBC Head Office in Vancouver to hear their stories and discuss topics and issues that are important to them.
What a difficult three years. I recall the deep uncertainty we faced. I will always remember with gratitude how despite the fear, individuals, families and support workers stepped up to keep people supported and safe. news.gov.bc.ca/releases/2023…
