Canada’s new cabinet is missing something vital: a Minister for Disability. The role once held by Carla Qualtrough is gone. Without it, who’s accountable for advancing accessibility, rights, and equity? #DisabilityInclusion #CdnPoli #HumanRights

🗳 Today's the day!! Please make sure you vote. People with disabilities should not be ignored. We need to ensure disability issues are prioritized in federal policies. To do this, our community needs to vote. Please exercise your right to and have a say. If you need information on each party's disability-related commitments, see our infographic below! #Elxn45 #CdnPoli #CanadaVotes

Accessibility & universal design are NOT more expensive. If an architect, designer or contractor tells you that it is, find a new one. #NB #AccessibleNB

Through struggle and discipline, persistence and faith, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. helped move this country forward. As we honor his legacy today, let’s remember the lesson he taught us: that even in the face of impossible odds, people who love this country can help change it. In honor of #MLKDay, I hope you’ll do what you can in your community to create a better future for us all.
