About the BC-Community Living Action Group (BC-CLAG)

Coordinating this provincial effort is the BC Community Living Action Group (BC-CLAG) —a broad-based, diverse network of service, support, and advocacy organizations, family groups, and other community living sector stakeholders.

BC-CLAG meets regularly to exchange information, ideas, and collaborate on various actions, including: public meetings, advocacy, media releases, news conferences, and more.

BC-CLAG members represent various constituencies, and have both aligned and divergent interests, positions, and priorities. Collectively, the BC-CLAG advocates for:

• a stop to government cuts to supports and services affecting adults with developmental disabilities.
• an independent public review of BC's community living sector, examining capacity, funding, and oversight.
• the release of CLBC's strategic and operational plans and budgets, as well as the disclosure of expected plan outcomes.
• an independent officer of the legislature to advocate on behalf of persons with disabilities who are receiving or seeking provincial government support.
• new legislation that guarantees the provision of publicly funded services and supports to people with developmental disabilities, sufficient to meet their diverse and changing needs.
