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 have worked together as a collective to put these initiatives in place.
ISABC Accessibility Plan
Please find the ISABC Accessibility Plan (text version) and ISABC Accessibility Plan (graphic version). If you would like to provide your feedback on the plan, please use this feedback form. Questions, comments, or feedback regarding the collective ISABC Accessibility Plan may be directed to Bonnie Fisher, bonniefisher@isabc.ca.
