Spinal Cord Injury BC

@perfectrose2011 We recently had some new staff members join our team, so we appreciate your patience!

@SCI_BC Thank you for your reply. Why couldn't the person acting as receptionist at your office transfer my call is what I truly do not understand. Isn't that one of the tasks she has in that job? Why do I have to go through menus on an Info line to talk to someone at your offices?

@SCI_BC I just now called the main office # & spoke to the receptionist at length explaining why I wanted to speak to someone about having a staff person assist a store manager (who I spoke to yesterday) about a renovation to their public washrooms at @saveonfoods store in

@perfectrose2011 Hi Wendy, sorry to hear that you couldn't reach us. Our staff always responds to voicemails, and you can call our InfoLine today at 1-800-689-2477, and one of our staff would be happy to speak with you. We always appreciate feedback and look forward to connecting with you!

unacceptable yet I have repeatedly complained about this. Surely your association COULD provide input about this renovation YET I am unable to talk to anyone. Ridiculous situation. Any reply would be appreciated from BC's SCI.
