how to
Get Involved
We envision a future where the abilities of persons with disabilities are fully recognized, developed and living as equals in society.
Our initiatives would not be possible without the involvement of First Voice and the cross-sector collaboration from the community, government, and businesses to reach the goal of an accessible and barrier-free province.
