Hi all:
Here’s some information specific to disability supports and income assistance during the Coronavirus (COVID-19) situation.
Stay safe!
Hey everyone, it is more important than ever that we protect ourselves and others by staying a 2m distance away.
Staying active is important for everyone to be healthy, too! Just because you’re “social distancing” doesn’t mean you can’t participate. Some fitness businesses are streaming classes online for free.
There are many fun and active things to do that connect us safely with others – like calling up a friend and putting on some music to dance or sing to! Why not belt out a tune, or get up and boogie the next time you’re on FaceTime?

Hey everyone, Castanet is reporting that the B.C. government is increasing the monthly amount that people on income and disability assistance receive to help them with COVID-19.
If you are not eligible for the federal government’s emergency support programs, or if you are a low-income senior, you will get an automatic $300 monthly for three months starting this month (April). Benefits will not be reduced for those who qualify for the $2,000 Canada Emergency Response Benefit.

Hey everyone:
While it can be hard to be apart from the people we love, please remember to protect yourselves and others by staying 2m away while we are practicing social distancing.
That doesn’t mean you can’t get creative to show how much you care! Meet Hilda Duddridge, who proves that where there is a will, there is a way: love conquers all!

Hey everyone:
Here’s a link to CLBC’s weekly update, lots of really useful information here.
Stay safe!
Hey everyone, just a reminder to please remember to protect yourselves by staying 2m away from others while we are practicing social distancing. We all need to work together to “flatten the curve.”
Check out “the curve” re-imagined for all the cat-lovers out there!

Hey everyone, Jackie found a great online summary of Public Health and Government news about Coronavirus (COVID-19). You can check it out here.


Hey everyone:
Today’s reminder is a video from CNN about social distancing that does a great job of describing why social distancing is important for your health and the health system. Really great summary.
Stay safe!
