Welcome to the NBCPD
NBCPD was founded BY and FOR individuals with disabilities, maintaining a board that is consistently comprised of 80% of this community. Born out of the necessity to advocate for the disabled population in New Brunswick, our non-partisan organization emerged with a singular objective: to realize an inclusive New Brunswick where individuals with disabilities enjoy improved living standards, access to appropriate assistance, and full and equitable participation in society.
In New Brunswick, 26.7% of people between 15 and 65 reported having at least one disability in the 2017 Census.
Alberta: The higher total welfare income amount is for the unattached single with a disability who is eligible for Alberta’s Assured Income for the Severely Handicapped (AISH) program; the lower amount is for the unattached single with a disability who is eligible for Alberta’s Barriers to Full Employment (BFE) Program.
What's Happening At NBCPD
The NBCPD is excited to unveil a series of upcoming events that promote inclusivity and advocate for the rights of people with disabilities in New Brunswick.
