 Hi, my name is Pat Danforth and I am the past chair of the Disability Alliance BC. For over 50 years I have used a wheelchair and for over 50 years I have been advocating for and with people with disabilities. During this time I have met many people with disabilities and heard their thoughts and hopes for the future. I believe we are experts on our own lives and that is why I am excited to provide my feedback to the government on the framework for accessibility legislation. I am committed to embracing and leading change that can make a difference to our lives, our lives, people with disabilities. Legislation that is informed by people with disabilities can help support that change. I encourage every person who wants to live in an inclusive and accessible province to share your views about how legislation can help remove barriers and promote the dignity and independence of people living with a disability. There are lots of ways to participate. You can give your opinion online, in a survey or over the phone. Let's share our expertise and wisdom about how to create a truly inclusive British Columbia.
