## Resource

Are persons with disabilities less important than seniors? Our federal and provincial governments seem to think so. Seniors have access to a cheap annual $45 bus pass here in BC, other PWDs do not. Old age seniors also have easier access to rental assistance programs and rent subsidies to help combat the rising cost of living. And again, regular BC PWD recipients don't. PWD Allies podcast airs every week on YouTube, hosted by Brent Frain. This episode livestreamed via YouTube on March 20, 2026.
