Since 1957, the BC Paraplegic Association (BCPA) has been a vital link to the community and successful independent living for thousands of people with spinal cord injuries and other physical disabilities. There are over 5000 people living in BC who have a permanent spinal cord injury that affects every aspect of their lives. Over 400,000 British Columbians also have a disability that affects their mobility.
BCPA services help people overcome the challenge of living with a physical disability. BCPA programs provide transition services from hospital care back into the community and Peers providing support and practical advice on living well with a disability. BCPA advocacy removes barriers to participation.
BCPA helps people with physical disabilities achieve goals, regain independence and move forward with their lives—improving the quality of life of all British Columbians.
