All of us at BCCPD would like to express our profound gratitude to Joseph Connolly for his donation of $10,000. Joseph made the donation in memory of his wife, Helen, who we were fortunate to work with during her many years as a tireless advocate for people with mental illness. Our Board is discussing how best to use this donation to honour Helen’s work. We would also like to extend our thanks to the Merrell family who donated $1,000. The family sent this note along with their cheque “Enclosed is our cheque for $1000 as a donation to ‘The Coalition.’ We would like this donation to be in Lillian Wong’s name [one of our advocates]. Thanks to Lillian’s assistance, we have gotten [our grandson] his designation as a “Person with a Disability.” Without Lillian’s tireless and cheerful help, we wouldn’t have had a hope of steering this application through the system. Thank you Lillian and the Coalition for your kind and generous help to people with disabilities.” Our deep thanks to Mr. Connolly and the Merrells for your support and recognition.

From the Executive Director   We couldn't do our work without the support of so many wonderful organizations. A special thank you to The Law Foundation of BC for funding our website upgrade!
