Sharing stories online

CLBC Board Chair Denise Turner listens as Vidyut Aklujkar shares her experiences of raising her daughter Rasika.

Six parents of individuals with developmental disabilities gathered in Vancouver to share their individual stories of lived experience with CLBC Board Chair Denise Turner and CLBC Board Members Mark Duncan, Don Rowlatt and Arn Van Iersel.

Parents Vidyut Aklujkar, Carol Antoine, Maria Glaze, Russ Keil, Annette Pope, and Arlene Zuckernick from Victoria shared accounts of their family experiences.

This meeting provided an opportunity for members of the CLBC Board to hear about these family members’ different and ongoing life journeys with their adult sons and daughters with developmental disabilities.

Video clips from this meeting can now be viewed on CLBC’s Youtube page by visiting www.youtube.com/user/communitylivingbc.

Links to each of the video clips are also available on the CLBC website under What’s New > Media Room.
