Our 2025 Annual Report is here.
In 2025, the Disability Foundation Network recorded 4,666 program engagements, reached 1,943 unique participants, and brought together approximately 600 active volunteers across our work.

Through our six affiliated societies, that work ranged from adaptive sailing, hiking and paddling to accessible gardening, music, custom assistive devices, and community programming.

The report brings together the results, partnerships, funding, and program highlights that shaped the year and shows the scale and range of work happening across the Network.

Today is SCI Day! Observed every year on Sep 5, SCI Day is a renewed call to advance prevention, collaboration, and action across the global SCI community.

We're also celebrating 16 years of the BC Spinal Cord Injury Network (BC SCI Network). Together, SCI BC, The Disability Foundation, the Neil Squire Society, BC Wheelchair Sports Association (BCWSA) and BC Wheelchair Basketball Society are working together to make BC the best place for people with physical disabilities to live, work and be active.

Check out this photo from last year's BC SCI Network meeting. We're looking forward to more learning, collaboration and connection when we come together again this October.
