Share your Family Photos with ACT

Calling all Photographers!

This month ACT’s staff is busy updating all of our information materials, and we are hoping that you may be inspired by this wonderful weather to provide us with some fresh photos.

As you will have seen from ACT’s materials, we like to include photos of kids/young adults with their peers and their families having fun and engaging in community or family activities.

Please consider sharing family photos with us, to help liven up our print materials and our website, to help grow autism awareness and entice people to use ACT’s resources. To share your photos, either reply to this email*, or use our online submission form.

For examples of how we use photos, you may wish to see our:

  • ACT’s Autism Manual for BC page
  • 2012 Annual Report
  • Flyers that we hand out at information tables

Best regards,

Deborah Pugh
Executive Director
ACT – Autism Community Training

ACT is looking for qualified vendors for database

ACT is seeking qualified vendors who may be interested in a contract to replace ACT’s current database system.

The objective of this Request for Information (RFI) is to solicit interest in a Request for Proposal (RFP) and ultimately enter into contract with a qualified vendor for a business solution tool including maintenance, data migration from current system (Raiser’s Edge), and training and support that will assist ACT in its delivery of services.
