Global Words of Encouragement to Manitobans (No.24)
Oct 23, 2013
As the current CEO of Easter Seals Newfoundland and Labrador and past member of the Council of Canadians with Disabilities (CCD), I am expressing my support for adoption of legislation as proposed by Barrier Free Manitoba. By eliminating societal and environmental barriers to persons with disabilities we increase accessibility for individuals to fully participate in society as they have a right to. Through initiatives such as legislation that supports the implementation of the UN Convention of the Rights of Persons with Disabilities we can achieve a fully inclusive Canada. Manitoba has traditionally been a leader in disability, supports and accommodation. We hope that this continues in striving to achieve a Barrier Free Manitoba... and ultimately a Barrier Free Canada.
