📢 We Want to Hear From You!

Indigenous Disability Canada (IDC) / BC Aboriginal Network on Disability Society (BCANDS) just launched our Accessible Housing - Inclusive First Nations Project.

We are inviting First Nations community members, especially those with lived experience of disability, to complete our survey on accessible housing. Your insights will help us better understand strengths, gaps, and barriers, and shape meaningful, community-informed solutions. Those who complete the survey will be placed into a draw for a chance to win an Apple iPad!

👉 Take the survey here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/LQVFB6C

We welcome you to share this post to help us reach more community members. Together, we can support more accessible, inclusive communities for today and future generations.

We are proud to be a part of RESILIENCE 2026, the Environmental Health Association of Quebec's International Conference on Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS).

This two-day international event brings together researchers, clinicians, policymakers, and civil society leaders to advance scientific understanding of Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS), and strengthen public education and awareness of MCS as a disability. Join us as we move science forward, elevate lived experience, and build practical solutions for accessible air in the built environment.
