For adults living with physical disabilities, the right mobility or assistive device can mean greater freedom at home, at work, and in the community.

The Kinsmen Foundation of BC helps make those possibilities more accessible by supporting equipment and services that improve mobility, independence, and quality of life across British Columbia.

Every grant, donation, and act of support helps remove a practical barrier — because access is not a luxury.

This month, as we honour Indigenous histories and contributions, we’re also thinking about Indigenous community members who live with disabilities and face added barriers to accessibility and independence. The Kinsmen Foundation’s work on assistive technology and home accessibility supports this broader vision of inclusion across all communities in BC!

May 21 is Global Accessibility Awareness Day, and we’re joining in.

The web should work for everyone, regardless of ability, device, or context. Making things accessible isn’t a “nice to have” – it’s the foundation of good design and good communication. A clearer heading, a well-written alt text, a video with captions, a form that works with a keyboard… small choices like these can open the door for someone who’s usually left out.

If you’re curious where to start or want to go a bit deeper, have a look at what’s happening around the world at accessibility.day (https://accessibility.day).

Student designs that change lives

Come see the top ideas from the 2026 Simon Cox Student Design Competition on Saturday, April 25, 2026 at the ICORD Centre / Blusson Spinal Cord Centre, 818 W 10th Ave, Vancouver, BC, hosted by Technology for Living .

BC college and university students will showcase assistive technology projects designed to increase independence at home for people with physical disabilities, competing for $8,000 in awards, including the Peers’ Choice Award voted on by people with disabilities.

Join the event from 10:00 AM – 3:00 PM to support accessibility innovation, meet the teams, and see practical designs that make everyday life safer, easier, and more autonomous.

In April, we mark Limb Loss and Limb Difference Awareness Month.

Across BC people, family, friends, neighbours living with limb loss or limb difference. Many are busy working, parenting, studying, and doing all the everyday things – but they still hit barriers with access, mobility, and inclusion.

At the Kinsmen Foundation of BC, we help people with physical disabilities get the equipment and support they need to stay mobile, independent, and involved in their communities.

Some legacies don’t fade—they grow. 💙

For over 30 years, Simon Cox dedicated his time, heart, and vision to the Kinsmen Foundation of BC. He believed in something simple, yet powerful:

👉 Listen first.
👉 Innovate with purpose.
👉 And always put independence at the centre.

Simon didn’t just support people with disabilities—he championed their ability to live fully, independently, and with dignity. And that belief continues to shape everything we do today.

✨ In just TWO WEEKS, we’ll see his legacy in action.

The Simon Cox Student Design Competition brings BC post secondary students together to design and build innovative technology that helps adults with disabilities live more independently. It’s creativity, compassion, and problem-solving—all driven by the same philosophy Simon lived by.

And here’s the beautiful part…
