ABOUT BACIVISION, MISSION AND STATEMENT OF VALUES AND PRINCIPLESWho We are:The Burnaby Association for Community Inclusion (BACI) is a grassroots, non-profit organization that has spent over 50 years providing innovative services for children, youth and adults with disabilities and their families. We currently serve over 800 individuals and their families in Metro Vancouver by providing various training, development, social/recreational, and employment opportunities. With our 6 integrated child care centres, we support over 150 children of all abilities and their families. BACI continues to seek out opportunities to increase social awareness, and with integrity and conviction, effect change in the way individuals of all abilities are included in our society. Vision (What we want): A society that includes all people. Mission (What we do): BACI creates places where people of all ages - Connect with family and friends - Achieve hopes and dreams - Learn and grow - Have choices respected - Access quality supports and services - Believe in and advocate for the rights and responsibilities of everyone. Statement of Values and Principles: We believe: - that citizenship must extend to all Canadians; - that each person should be respected as a unique individual; - that friends and family are of utmost importance in the lives of the people whom we support; - that all people have the right to belong in their community; - that all people be valued for the gifts that they bring to their community; - that people with disabilities should be supported and encouraged to make decisions that affect their lives; - in the importance of early intervention and early education for all children; - in the importance of honoring and promoting environmentally and socially responsible practices as we fulfill our mission and vision; - in the importance of working in partnership with others (agencies, organizations, government bodies), to maximize the quality of life of the people we serve. As a member organization of the BCACL (BC Association for Community Living), BACI supports the Statement of Values and Principles of that federation, and in particular: We believe: - that remembering and sharing our history will help guide and build our vision for the future; - that inclusive communities enrich the lives of all citizens; - that services and supports must be delivered in a way that respects an individual's diverse history, culture, race, religion and sexual orientation; - that real work means real pay; - that all children have the right to be educated in regular classrooms with appropriate levels of support. Accountability The Association provides most of its services through public funds, and to individuals who are amongst the most vulnerable in society. It is essential that we are accountable to the public, to the Ministry with whom our services are contracted, and to the individuals and families that expect us to be able to provide safe, meaningful, and quality services. Our Commitment: To this end, our Association is committed to being transparent in its practices and operations, and to being accountable to all stakeholders for all aspects of its activities (individuals, families and personal support systems, the Ministry, the public and local communities, Association members, external professionals, financial donors, and so on). The only limit to this transparency shall be with respect to our duty to protect the personal information and privacy of individuals and their families. Accessibility The Association must be accessible to all persons who use and interact, or who may potentially use and interact, with our services. Systems and resources are useless if people cannot find, access, or understand them. Our Commitment: We are committed to ensuring that our services are accessible to all who may require them, or who may need to interact with us. We conduct yearly assessments of all sites used by the Association. Access includes, but is not limited to the following:
