Hello everyone,

For the past couple of years, a small group of people have been working on a number of initiatives to support people with disabilities in the Central Okanagan. This led to the development of CODC, the Central Okanagan Disability Coalition, which has just put out its first newsletter. This coalition brings together initiatives on accessibility, transportation and information. They believe that the more they share news, resources and good practices, the better life will be for people with disabilities in the Central Okanagan.

Here’s the link to the CODC newsletter page. It has a link to the newsletter on it, and the subscription sign up.
