Our Vision

When our communities include everyone, we can all live our fullest lives.

Inclusive Communities Help Everyone

Inclusion BC is a federation of members that work together to build inclusive communities. We are a connection point between people in the community experiencing barriers to inclusion and government decision-makers.

We believe:

  • In a full life with dignity and respect for everyone.
  • Everyone has the right to determine their own needs, make their own decisions, and get the support they need to do those things.
  • Everyone has the right to and dignity of taking risks.
  • Everyone should have enough money for a reasonable quality of life.
  • Services and supports have to be delivered in a way that respects a person’s history, culture, race, religion, and sexual orientation.
  • In remembering and sharing our history so it can guide our future.
  • Families, friendships, relationships, and support networks help make everyone feel valued and safe.

Our Mission

We are a federation working with partners to build community and to enhance the lives of children, youth, adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities, and their families by building awareness, inspiring action and advancing rights.

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.
