BC Disability Caucus

BC Disability Caucus Advancing the interests of disabled British Columbians and touching on their lived experiences As of December 7, 2021.

British Columbians with disabilities and their allies are invited to join a volunteer driven, grassroots social and political forum where they can engage in discussions, support one another, and share information on issues relevant to living with a disability in BC. It is also a forum where a broad spectrum of topics that can touch disability are presented and may resonate here in British Columbia or that people may find interesting in general. We have been providing original thought provoking content sparking conversations and spurring change since 2014. This site's goal is to be a hub for news stories and other information that can be used for websites and blogs, and other social media platforms so that individuals, groups, and organizations can be informed of the issues. Opinions expressed in articles posted and in comments by participants are those of their authors and are not necessarily those of BC Disability Caucus. Please communicate respectfully and read / and adhere to discussion guidelines outlined here: https://www.facebook.com/notes/bc-disability-caucus/troll-policy-a-draft/1826885074223462

If you want us to put up posts for you or you need help -even if it is anonymously because it’s of a sensitive nature - please let us know. Our community often reaches out to provide support and direction to those who ask. If you want to create your own post that is suitable for the BC Disability Caucus page, please use this link. https://www.facebook.com/BCDisability/mentions

Please note: In October ‘21, our page transitioned to the new Facebook format as part of the Facebook update. Visitor posts (not comments) are now under the Mentions tab. When writing this update on Oct. 22/21, it seems it is still transitioning. It seems the ability to post (that is an invitation to post) is dependent on what device/ platform / app you are using at this time and we don’t know if you are seeing “mentions” or invitations when others aren’t as this seems to be a slow rollout. But even if you mention us by using our handle , your post will show up. If you would like us to post something, please let us know. We can do it anonymously or with your name. We also visit the “mentions” tab posts and can repost to the main posts page.

“From my personal and professional journey with disclosure, I’ve learned to emphasize the importance of being aware of one’s power. I explore with individuals the short- and long-term impacts of disclosure, and I’m honest with them: if they don’t have access to fiscal or positional power, I encourage them to seriously consider not disclosing until these realities change. This encouragement is contrary to current practices in the psychosocial disability sector (i.e., mental health sector), which often encourages disclosure.”

Dr. Susan L. Hardie, PhD, is the Executive Director of Winnipeg-based Eviance, which has worked for more than three decades in the cross-disability and mental health fields. She has been instrumental in establishing Eviance as a national organization that models an intersectional, human rights–bas...

From Cerebral PAlsy Association of BC Community News:

“Mildlife

Cory Thibert is a filmmaker and theatre creator based in Victoria, BC, and the son of two parents who live with cerebral palsy. He wrote and directed his first feature-length narrative film, Mildlife, inspired by his own upbringing, and cast two BC actors with cerebral palsy to play the parents.

Mildlife recently had its world premiere at the Woodstock Film Festival in New York and is currently under consideration at additional festivals, including several in BC. While it was not selected for VIFF or Whistler, plans are underway to rent a theatre in Vancouver in 2026 for a public screening, reflecting the city where the film was shot and where much of the cast and crew live.

The film aims to present disabled characters as realistic, three-dimensional people—flawed, loving, angry, tense, and funny—rather than relying on common disability tropes. Mildlife portrays disability as part of everyday life, explores complex family and caregiver relationships, and highlights the intersection of disability and poverty, while centering the rarely seen representation of two disabled parents in love and raising a family.”

From Canadian Director and Writer Cory Thibert, Mildlife explores a young man’s coming-of-age as a child of two parents who both live with cerebral palsy. Ba...
