Accessibility Act
The Accessible British Columbia Regulation, under the
Accessible BC Act, came into force on September 1, 2022. These regulations identify schools as prescribed organizations, school districts, and independent schools, who are required to have an Accessibility Committee, an Accessibility Plan, and a tool to receive feedback on accessibility by September 1, 2023. The goal of the act is to improve opportunities for people with disabilities and involve them in identifying, removing and preventing barriers to their full participation in the life of the province.
The Independent Schools of British Columbia (ISABC) have worked as a collective to put these initiatives in place.

Responses can be anonymous, or a name and contact information can be provided if wished to be contacted. To inform WPGA about an accessibility issue you have observed or experienced, please contact
