Conversations in Richmond

Community-Led Collaboration Project

 

Richmond is located on the traditional territories of the Musqueam, Tsawwassen and Kwantlen First Nations. We acknowledge the Metis, Inuit and Urban Indigenous People who also live throughout this territory.

In each conversation, participants were invited to share their ideas about:

  • What services and supports for children and youth with disabilities or support needs are working well in Richmond?
  • What gaps in services and support exist?
  • What does a better network of services and supports look like in Richmond?

Our approach to advocacy is guided by the United Nations Convention on the Rights of People with Disabilities, which recognizes the full citizenship and human rights of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Kerridan Dougan, Advocate

Support Our Work, Empower Everyone.

Together, we can break down barriers and create an inclusive world for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
