The British Columbia Aboriginal Network on Disability Society (BCANDS), an NGO based in the city of Victoria, works to advance the disability and health priorities of Indigenous persons across the province of British Columbia and Canada. BCANDS provides free advice and support to any person with a disability-related query, but with a focus on the unique needs of Indigenous populations. The organization acts as a liaison among service agencies to help persons with disabilities to access mobility equipment, adaptive technology, state benefits, housing, and more. In 2017, BCANDS supported over 1,700 people in accessing local or national services.
