Committee ready to improve accessibility in B.C.
Removing barriers and making the province as accessible as possible for as many as possible is important to making our society as inclusive as possible. Little things, such as sidewalk curbs for wheelchairs, and braille in elevators has worked towards making life more accessible for those of us that need it. The Province has just appointed 11 British Columbians as the first members of the Provincial Accessibility Committee (PAC), marking the next step in this government’s work to remove barriers for people with disabilities in BC. There is more to do, but I am confident the committee will work hard with this government to improve accessibility for those that need it. For more information, click here.

Dear Neighbour,
It is now the end of July and heading into the August long weekend. How the time has flown by. BC Day is this Monday.

At 7 PM on BC Day, I am going to make some noise and show my thanks to all the frontline workers. I hope you will too. Please take the time, join in and show your support by banging your pots and pans at 7 PM on BC Day!

Susie Chant monthly roundup
Tomorrow will be the start of BC entering into step 3 of our COVID-19 Restart plan. The increase of people getting vaccinated, the people listening to Dr. Bonnie Henry’s orders to social distance, limit gatherings and the sizes of them, and the wearing of masks, has meant a decline in new cases and is allowing the province to ease restrictions and open up more.
