    February 2nd, 2023 the House of Commons Adopt Legislation for a Canada Disability Benefit. 

    "The Canada Disability Benefit (CDB) - "Bill C-22, the ground-breaking legislation for a new Canada Disability Benefit, passed third reading and was unanimously adopted in the House of Commons. Bill C-22 will now move to the Senate for consideration where it will be sponsored by Senator Brent Cotter.'

    The Canada Disability Benefit has the potential to lift people with disabilities out of poverty.  Canada is a rich country, all people living with a disability deserve to live their life without suffering in deep poverty.

    Housing affordability and the lack of housing options are high ranking concerns for many, how is Delta contributing to the solution?

    "With upcoming civic elections, voters should remember that municipalities shape the future of communities and the type of housing options that will be available decades into the future,” said Jill Atkey, CEO of BC Non-Profit Housing Association, in the news release.

    “While the challenges are clear, there are also solutions. British Columbia’s non-profit housing sector has the solutions and expertise to be an essential partner for local governments to help solve the housing crisis.”
