The
Prime Minister at BACI!
BACI was thrilled to host
Prime
Minister Stephen Harper at our Still
Creek Centre on October 29, 2009.
The Prime Minister toured the building -- along with Rick Hansen,
Minister Steven Fletcher, Jack Styan from PLAN,
and BACI's Executive Director Richard
Faucher -- and met with several individuals
participating in BACI's Day Programs.
The PM then spoke with a large group of people from the
community living sector, the business community, and
other special guests, on the importance of recognizing
the contributions of people of all abilities.
Along with Hansen, Fletcher, and former PLAN President
Ted Kuntz, the Prime Minister spoke of the role that the
innovative
Registered Disability Savings Plan
(RDSP) will play in helping people with disabilities to secure
their future and participate more fully in their communities.
