Separate and apart from my public and community boards, I have 40+ years of activism within the disability community:
- Active in the disability community for over 40 years.
- Pacific Transit Cooperative. I co-founded the PTC during my first year of Law School. It was my idea to create the world’s only coop made up of Handydart users. PTC successfully won the Translink contract to operate Handydart in Vancouver every year for 27 years.
- One of the co-founders of the BC Coalition of the Disabled [now known as the BC Disability Alliance] in the late 1970’s. Over the years, fellow board members elected me many times as the chair of the board.
- I helped to found the Public Interest Advocacy Centre. PIAC takes test cases to Court to set precedents. One of the areas it focuses on is disability cases. I was elected chair several times by my fellow PIAC board members.
- I was one of the co-founders of the Association of CSIL Employers [ACE]. CSIL is a program whereby Health Authorities provide monthly funding to individuals with disabilities such that they may hire personal care attendants directly as opposed to going through a homemaker agency. Ken Kramer, the chair of ACE, and I successfully lobbied the provincial government for a 30% raise in the hourly rate of CSIL personal care attendants.
- I sit on Translink’s Handydart User Advisory Committee [HDUAC]. HDUAC members unanimously elected me as HDUAC chair approximately 18 months ago.
