The BC Coalition of People with Disabilities (BCCPD) is a provincial, cross-disability advocacy organization. Our mandate is to raise public and political awareness of issues that concern us. We hope, through our work, to facilitate the full participation of people with disabilities in all aspects of society and to promote independence. To meet these goals we:

• advocate with all levels of government on policies and attitudes that affect people with disabilities
• promote public awareness of our issues through conferences, special projects and the media
• provide individual and group advocacy for people with disabilities
• serve on government panels and committees
• share information and self-help skills with individuals and disability groups.
