From March 10 - 12, 2008 approximately 350 people from across Canada and the USA, as well as people from as far away as New Zealand met in Richmond, British Columbia, Canada to participate in the Changing the World One Person at a Time: The Canadian Experience conference. The conference was sponsored by:

• Community Living British Columbia
• British Columbia Association for Community Living
• Canadian Association for Community Living

This website has been developed as a result of participants' interest to continue the dialogue about how best to develop individualized supports for children and adults who live with a developmental disability.

The site is a "wiki". What is a wiki you ask? Well, it is a website that includes the collaboration of work from many different authors. A wiki site allows anyone to edit, delete, or modify the content on the web. The first wiki creator named the site after a chain of buses in Hawaii - Wiki means "quick" in Hawaiian. If you are really keen, and want to learn more read this article.

The site will be built by those who use it over time. Currently, the majority of the presentations made at the conference are available in the attachment list below. Conference participants, and site visitors, can also continue the dialogue in the discussion forum.
