Creating A World Where Everyone Belongs

Working together to build awareness, advance rights, and inspire action.

What We Do

I am grateful for Inclusion BC and this network. I have been able to support more people and families though tough times with all the amazing resources I have received through the sessions and speakers. Family Support Workers’ Network participant

Our Work

Inclusion BC advocates for a world where everyone belongs, and people with intellectual and developmental disabilities have choice and control over the supports and services they need to flourish. We provide self advocacy and family support, and work for systems-level inclusive change in communities across British Columbia.

Our Pillars

Inclusion BC brings attention to critical gaps in supports and services for people with intellectual disabilities, and their families. Together with our federation members, we advocate for inclusion in all areas of life, including education, housing and employment.
