Strong Legislation
Following is a list of the coalitions and organizations which endorsed the call for accessibility-rights legislation in Manitoba during the 5+ year campaign that led to the passage and proclamation of the Accessibility for Manitobans Act on December 5, 2013.
Without the active and ongoing support of these groups, accessibility-rights legislation would never have been secured.
