The Proclamation Day for amendments to personal planning legislation in B.C. happened on September 1^st, but why limit the celebration to one day only?

To celebrate the rich history of the Representation Agreement Act – B.C.’s first law designed specifically for personal planning – Nidus is hosting a virtual month-long party!!
