All of our Help Sheet self-help guides have now been updated for 2011 and we have added a new sheet, People with Disabilities on Reserve: The PWD Designation. Help Sheets marked with an “*� are now also available in Traditional Chinese and Punjabi. The Help Sheets are available at www.bccpd. bc.ca, in our publications library or can be mailed to you on request. Email us at feedback@bccpd. bc.ca or call 604-8750188 and ask for Val. Our sincere thanks to the Legal Services Society of BC, Human Resources and Skills Development Canada Homelessness Partnering Strategy and the Health Sciences Association of British Columbia for making this update possible.
