Our Partners

This event would not have been successful for so many years without our partners, and we wanted to take a moment to introduce the member organizations who will be co-hosting the 2024 event with us:

The Nanaimo Association for Community Living is committed to supporting people with diversabilities. Their goal is to provide dignity and respect to each person and to empower the people they serve to make their own informed choices that build on their self-determination. Since 1986 they have been providing services and programs to adults with diversabilities and now reach roughly 200 youth and adults through their staffed residences, community inclusion services, and more.

The BC Self Advocate Leadership Network is a Network made of self-advocates from leading organizations in the Lower Mainland, Vancouver Island, and Northern BC. The majority of SALN members are part of local and provincial self-advocacy and advisory groups. SALN is aware and interested in the BC self-advocate movement. SALN aims to bring together self-advocate leaders to support and learn from each other, and to work on projects that bring about positive change for people with disabilities and communities.
