Day 13 of Indigenous Disability Awareness Month (IDAM)! A great announcement today in BC for couples who are both in receipt of Person's with Disabilities Benefits! Great news but more work to do! https://t.co/wW5bUxXyrf

Starting Dec. 1, 2025, couples where both members receive disability assistance will receive the same support allowance as they would if they were two single people.

November is Indigenous Disability Awareness Month. Inclusion isn’t just about awareness; it’s about action. Supporting Indigenous Peoples with disabilities means addressing systemic inequities and ensuring equal access to opportunities, spaces, and decision-making.

If you’re even half as loyal to serving Indigenous Peoples with disabilities as you are to that hat, we’re all in good hands. But seriously… no amount of duct tape can save that thing...
