Call For Participants 
Our goal is to make personal planning legal information and resources more accessible to persons with disabilities and their supporters through high-quality videos that incorporate storytelling elements. To do so we would like to hear from you! This is a call for submissions of stories from persons with disabilities who are willing to share their experiences with using personal planning documents. If you are interested drop us an email at info@nidus.ca
Nidus does not currently receive any ongoing funding to cover the cost of our services. Our ability to provide help and services depends on donations, modest fees for some services, and project grants.

Thank you to the BC Government Employees Community Fund for their annual donation to Nidus.

Thank you to the BC Ministry of Health for year end funding to the Nidus Resource Centre. Health care providers can email info@nidus.ca to request free consultation with Nidus staff.


Thank you to Community Living BC for their two year project grant.

Nidus is grateful for the Accessibility Project Grant funding administered by Disability Alliance BC and provided by the Ministry of Social Development and Poverty Reduction (MSDPR).

Thanks to private donors - like you!  Your yearly, one time, legacy or monthly donation makes a BIG difference!

We also thank our committed and expert volunteers including Hugh McLellan (lawyer and partner with McLellan Herbert); Maureen MacDonald (providing one-to-one help to seniors) and Karen Schenkeveld (Chartered Professional Accountant).
