Global Words of Encouragement to Manitobans (No.12)

Oct 07, 2013

I have been providing services and advocacy for over 30 years and I have chosen to make my life and career about making a difference in the quality of life and inclusion for people with intellectual disabilities. The very idea "barrier free" evokes a sense of freedom that each and every person has the right to claim. Any barriers that still exist for needs to be addressed by using the seven essential for a strong foundation. It will call forth a new realm of possibilities for people who experience a disability of any kind. This speaks to the heart of the future we must all live into by acting now!
