The Cerebral Palsy Association of British Columbia was started in 1954 by a group of parents who wanted to assist their children living with cerebral palsy to reach their maximum potential within society. Today we are an independent charitable organization governed by a volunteer Board of Directors. We provide support, education, and information throughout BC. Our mission is:

-To raise awareness of cerebral palsy in the community
-To assist those living with cerebral palsy to reach their maximum potential
-To work to see those living with cerebral palsy realize their place as equals in a diverse society

We will accomplish this mission through:
-advocacy
-encouraging networking
-educating members of the public about cerebral palsy
-governing relations activities
-implementing programs for individuals with cerebral palsy

I interviewed my dad on video in his final weeks. When I asked about his work and finding meaning through helping others, he responded, “I don’t think you can be focused on, ‘Oh gee, I want to make a difference.’ It has to be spontaneous. If it’s not…there’s some kind of egotistical thing going on. That’s a red flag. You hope you impact people on the deepest level you are capable of at the time. Sometimes you hit it, sometimes you don’t. You’re trying.
