Corey Walker of Prince George has joined CLBC’s Board of Directors.
Community Living BC (CLBC) welcomes Corey Walker as its newest member of the Board of Directors.
From Prince George, B.C., Corey has many years of experience in self advocacy. Since being diagnosed with autism in 2001, while in his early 20s, he has made it his life’s mission to empower fellow British Columbians with autism and disabilities to live their best lives possible.
“Corey will be a valuable addition to CLBC’s Board and we are excited to have him join us,” says Board Chair Michael J. Prince. “With his skills, passion and significant experience advocating for others, he will make an important contribution to the work of the board.”
Corey works as a teacher at the Sylvan Learning Centre and recently completed working as a Program Facilitator with the Pacific Autism Family Network’s EmploymentWorks program. He serves as a director for the Canadian Autism Spectrum Disorders Alliance (CASDA).
His previous experience includes sitting on the boards of nine non-profit societies, including the Prince George Community Radio Society and the Project Friendship Society. He worked for AutismBC as the Northern Regional Coordinator for over seven years. As an experienced public speaker on autism-related topics, Corey has presented to audiences across B.C. and Canada, including at Inclusion BC’s annual conference and the Canadian Autism Leadership Summit in Ottawa.
Corey has been appointed by Nicholas Simons, Minister, Social Development and Poverty Reduction, to a three-year term starting April 22, 2022.
