Community Councils work with regional management to strengthen inclusion in their communities, as well as provide feedback to the PAC on issues of concern.<\/p>\n<h3>Community Councils<\/h3>\n<p>In 2007, CLBC set up Community Councils to provide information and advice to CLBC about what is important to the people and families we serve. Councils share concerns and successes, as well as identify province-wide barriers to inclusion and citizenship for people with developmental disabilities that require action and change. This includes helping with CLBC projects and plans.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.communitylivingbc.ca\/volunteer\/overview\/get-to-know-clbc-community-councils\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">For more information, visit the <strong>Community Councils<\/strong> page here.<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Provincial Advisory Committee<\/h3>\n<p>The Provincial Advisory Committee (PAC) is made up of Board-appointed individuals and family members from each of the 12 CLBC Community Councils. The PAC makes suggestions to the CLBC Board and staff about how to improve the quality of life of people supported by CLBC. The PAC helps the Board understand the experiences and priorities of the people they serve. Two to three Board members attend PAC meetings to listen, engage, discuss, answer questions and report on issues raised. PAC is also a link between Community Councils and the CLBC Board of Directors.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.communitylivingbc.ca\/about-us\/leadership\/provincial-advisory-committee\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">For more information, visit the <strong>Provincial Advisory Committee<\/strong> page here.<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Indigenous Advisory Committee<\/h3>\n<p>The Indigenous Advisory Committee (IAC) was created in 2012 to ensure that the Board of Directors is guided by the intersectional perspectives of Indigenous people with disabilities.
