DDA's 60th Anniversary

"Out of small acorns, big oak trees grow." - Bea Purdy

It has already been 60 years since a group of 12 wilful parents of children with developmental disabilities came together to integrate their children into public schools. Their persistence and efforts have rewarded them with something much greater, known as Developmental Disabilities Association.

This year, we are celebrating our 60th anniversary as a community living agency that supports over 1,600 individuals and families each year with their 50 community-based programs and services to children, adults and families with developmental disabilities in Vancouver and Richmond.

Whether you are a member, client, or donor, we want to invite you to join us in celebrating our anniversary and to another amazing 60 years to come at our events lined up this year.
