Inclusion BC launched a civic engagement campaign to connect our members and community ambassadors with MLAs across British Columbia. The campaign, Diversity Includes, is designed to highlight the themes that are of most importance to people with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their families – taking into account that too often they are left out of conversations on diversity and inclusion in our communities.
To connect with your MLA and become a community ambassador please email info@inclusionbc.org
Here are some resources that will take you through the experience of being a Community Ambassador.
Lining up your meeting:
- Meeting with your MLA (Tips and Resources)
- You can get a template email to send to your MLA by emailing info@inclusionbc.org with your name and some details about who you are.
