Barrier Free Manitoba

In partnership with Abilities Manitoba, Barrier-Free Manitoba is pleased to announce Disability Matters: Vote 2016, a non-partisan, cross-disability community project to more fully engage Manitobans with disabilities in the next Manitoba general election. (Download the overview document Word / PDF.)

Disability Matters: Vote 2016 has three objectives:

• To ensure that all Manitobans with disabilities can participate fully in election activities.
• To promote priority attention for disability issues in the election.
• To support Manitobans with disabilities in making informed voting decisions.

The official launch of Disability Matters: Vote 2016 will coincide with the International Day of Persons with Disabilities:

      December 3, 11am – Noon
      Manitoba Legislature – Rotunda
      Refreshments will be served

Please join us. Note taking and ASL supports have been arranged for the event.

In the interim, please visit the Disability Matters: Vote 2016 website at: http://www.disabilitymatters2016.ca.

Preliminary work on this important community project has really only started and there is just so much to do. So please consider:

• Signing up for project updates.
• Volunteering to help.
• Making a donation.

The next few months will be very exciting ones. We look forward to your participation and support.
