What is BCADB

The British Columbia Association of the Deaf-Blind is an association for independent persons who are Deaf-Blind.  Run by persons who are Deaf-Blind for those who are Deaf-Blind.
Our goal is to have fun, but it takes a lot of work to get to the fun part.  So, we plan, organize, sponsor and partake in a large variety of activities.  So, we have meetings.  There are General Meetings every two to three months (October, January, March and June).  There is a Board of Directors meetings every month to generate ideas, to finalize arrangements and plan activities.  We have six directors: President, Vice-President, Treasurer, Secretary, Social Director and Member-At-Large.
Our general meetings are always entertaining, we are never a tedious group.  We discuss, argue, suggest and do fun things.  We are twelve years old.
We are always accepting new members.  It does not matter if you are Deaf, Blind Deaf-Blind or “normal."  We would like to have more people join our association.
Workshop we have had:

· CPR

· Fire Safety

· AIDS

· First Aid

· Self Advocacy

· Self-Esteem

· Sexual Well-Being

· Earthquake
