Our Story
The Richmond Centre for Disability (RCD), formerly the Richmond Committee on Disability, was established in 1985 through the joint effort of United Way of the Lower Mainland, the Special Needs and Social Planning departments of the City of Richmond and a number of people with disabilities from the community. The RCD serves as an advisory body and spokes group to local government, business and the community on issues and barriers faced by people with disabilities and through its work has contributed to the overall physical and attitudinal accessibility of the community.
The RCD’s purpose is to give people with disabilities the opportunity to participate in the community to the fullest extent of their ability and to improve their quality of life by working for – Inclusion, Independence & Empowerment.
