Position Statements

On key priority areas for inclusion and equality for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

Inclusion BC: Positioning For Change

In an effort to share our members’ insights to those with the power to make structural change, we are writing a series of position statements outlining Inclusion BC’s position on key issues facing the disability community. 

We are releasing a collection of position statements in 2024, requesting meetings with ministers to discuss our calls to action.

Each of our position statements are grounded in the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and informed by people with intellectual and developmental disability, their families, our member organizations, and our Board of Directors.
