Burnaby Association for Community Inclusion

The Burnaby Association for Community Inclusion (BACI) is a charitable organization in Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada that provides services to infants, children, youth, and adults with developmental disabilities in the local area.

BACI is a place where children and adults of all abilities are supported to reach for their dreams and make decisions about their lives—where they want to live, work, learn and grow. Who their friends are. What they believe in.

BACI was created in 1956, when parents of children with disabilities in Burnaby gathered to advocate for the rights of their sons and daughters. BACI has grown into a non-profit organization that provides innovative services to over 1,000 children, youth and adults with developmental disabilities and their families in Metro Vancouver.

BACI provides a wide range of training, development, social/recreational and employment opportunities. Throughout BACI and in its social enterprises – BC Woodworks, Action Packaging and Yard 'n Works – BACI supports the employment (or economic inclusion) of people with disabilities.

BACI continues to seek opportunities to increase social awareness and effect change in the way people with disabilities are viewed in society. Help BACI build a more inclusive and caring community by partnering with it on innovative social and economic initiatives, volunteering on one of its committees, participating in annual celebrations and events or becoming a member.
