Some information about the Canadian Association of Professionals with Disabilities and BC Affiliate

The Canadian Association of Professionals with Disabilities and its BC affiliate are young incorporated non-profits that were created in Victoria and are dedicated to maximizing workforce and community participation and inclusion of professionals with disabilities. We are breaking new ground. Our research has found no Canadian organisation solely and permanently dedicated to the unique needs of all professionals with disabilities. Few associations in the world are dedicated to meeting such needs. We are among the first. Our non-profits support all professionals regardless of their employment status, profession, or specialty. We serve professionals who are beginning their careers, on leave, volunteering, unemployed, gainfully employed, underemployed, as well as those who are employed part time, self employed, unable to work, on welfare, or retired.

We are controlled by professionals with disabilities who are cognizant of and committed to recognising and supporting the diverse needs and interests of professionals with disabilities. At the same time, we are dedicated to building supportive and collaborative networks of individuals (with and without disabilities) and organisations that support our mandate, interests, and objectives.
