New Community Council resource
Michael Langridge and Mary Emond, who belong to the South Island Community Council, share examples of how Community Councils can include self-advocates.
A new video titled “Light the Way” has been created to stimulate discussion about different ways to include self-advocates in the work of the Community Councils.
Produced by the South Island Community Council, the video highlights best practices gathered from interviews with self-advocates about what inclusion looks like to them. The video is intended to help Councils to build their capacity to help self-advocates access and use information, recruit self-advocates, and effectively utilize self-advocates’ skills and abilities at meetings.
Copies of the video have been distributed to CLBC Community Councils across BC and it can also be viewed on CLBC’s Youtube channel at www.youtube.com/communitylivingbc.
