Our History
BCSALN is a Network made of self-advocates from leading organizations in the Lower Mainland, Vancouver Island and Northern BC. The majority of BCSALN members are part of local and provincial self-advocacy and advisory groups. BCSALN is aware and interested in the BC self-advocate movement.
BCSALN aims to bring together self-advocate leaders to support and learn from each other, and to work on projects that bring about positive change for people with disabilities and communities.
BCSALN members with their leadership experience are expected to mentor others to help build self-advocate leaders in the disability movement within BCSALN and their own organizations.

We became A Non-Profit Society
On February 17 th at 11:00 am we were officially incorporated as a BC Society. Our name is now B.C. Self-Advocate Leadership Network Society.
We worked hard to get here and are very proud of this achievement. We are thankful for all the support we got along the way.
