Inclusion Chilliwack has signed on this letter to our Federal Govt. You can make your concerns known as well by sharing with your Member of Parliament - see links in the shared post below.

More than 90 disability and mental health organizations from across the country are registering their concerns about the further expansion of Canada’s Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) law.

The groups are opposed to MAiD access being widened to people whose sole underlying medical condition is a mental illness. They have shared this position in an open letter to Prime Minister Mark Carney, Justice Minister and Attorney General Sean Fraser, and Health Minister Marjorie Michel. The letter was copied to the Special Joint Committee on Medical Assistance in Dying (AMAD) comprised of MPs and Senators.

Inclusion Canada is one of the signatories to the letter. People with disabilities and mental illness who face poverty, housing insecurity, social isolation, and barriers to timely health care need help and hope — not MAiD.

Please share this letter with your local Member of Parliament and Senator and urge them not to expand assisted su***de and also repeal the discriminatory Track 2 pathway to MAiD that is only for people with disabilities.

The barriers people with intellectual and developmental disabilities face in accessing healthcare are not new. People with disabilities, families, and community organizations across BC have been raising these concerns for years.

Too many people continue to experience fragmented services, gaps in care, and challenges navigating between the healthcare and community living systems.

What is needed now is coordinated provincial action, accountability, and meaningful investment to ensure equitable access to healthcare and supports.

Please read our position statement, Access to Health and Coordination of Care for Adults with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities, and our Calls to Action. https://ow.ly/wxiu50YZQXm

We’ve just wrapped up our three-day CARF survey at Inclusion Chilliwack Society (ICS).

Over the past few days, we had the pleasure of hosting four surveyors (three focused on our programs and one on administrative practices). It’s always a lot of preparation and hard work leading up to a CARF survey, but it also gives us a chance to step back and truly appreciate the incredible work happening across our organization every day.

This process highlights the commitment, compassion, and dedication of our employees to our mission, vision, and values. We are so proud of our team and the care and support they provide to the people we serve.

We won’t receive the final report for a few weeks, but we want to take a moment to say thank you (and congratulations) to everyone.
Based on what we saw and heard, it looks like a very successful survey
