Standard ticket further back: $80 The only Accessible seating: $163 No cheaper accessible options available. Why am I paying double just for accessible? Unfair and against the spirit of access. @Ticketmaster @ScotiabankArena #AccessibleSeating #disneyworldscollidetour

What an opportunity to have a seat at the table informing Canada’s National Caregiving Strategy. Learning from one another, forging connections, and creating a new path of support. Also found Niagara’s very own @FreshPrincessC from @yngcaregivers !#CCCESummit2023 @CdnCaregiving

Inspiring - @Irek_K sharing that #caregiving is the foundation of our society and economy and has been chronically undermined and needs to be valued. #CCCESummit2023 @CdnCaregiving @Chris_Bittle

“The issue of our time” - the unsupported #EconomyofCare. Learning from @AlisonBarkoff and the US National Caregiving Strategy. #CCCESummit2023 #CareEconomy @CdnCaregiving

ST. CATHARINES LIBRARIES: A 0% Budget change (as some City Councillors asked for) would result in a 21% reduction in library hours, and branches closing, and other significant limitations This is at a time when our libraries are more used and needed than ever #SupportLibraries

@littletonstc @uglyshirt @calebratzlaff @GregMillerSTC 2/2 essential resources (warmth, community, computers, knowledge and learning resources, not to mention free programming)

@littletonstc @uglyshirt @calebratzlaff @GregMillerSTC 1/2 As a frequenter of our library locations with my children, the library has always been an essential part of their childhood. We’ve witnessed community groups, older adults, persons with disabilities, families using these spaces as a community hub and a free space to access….

Watching last night’s @stcathlibrary presentation to @St_Catharines council budget meeting. It’s staggering how ill informed councillors are, taking exception with the word “legislated,” when staff is talking about pay equity, which is legislated, another asking 1/7

A crisp and misty morning @NiagaraMarathon #5k

Running for Niagara’s children this morning at the @niagarachildctr #SuperheroRun

@SaraPot3 Different is beautiful 🌸

With Janneke at an apptmt & wishing I could change language ppl use w/ their children who see mine. I hear the whisper to explain my kid to theirs, “There’s something wrong with her (muffled whisper).” Not wrong - just different. And different is ok.👩‍🦽👩‍🦽

.@cicadafestival come one come all! #OurHomeStc @ty_localniagara

Good to be back at #grapeandwine in #OurHomeStc.

Used be the Avondale across from my childhood home on Russell, was a favourite place then and now - My new favourite in #OurHomeStc #piqueNique

@banjosworld @LauraIp4Region @ShawTheatre I would encourage you to contact the clerks dpt at the City if you’re interested. They would be able to answer that question better as they recently filled the committee for the new term of council and what have a better concept of the process.

@Froma_Diff_Lens @LauraIp4Region @ShawTheatre Are they planning to put up an application for it sometimes soon?

The goal shouldn't be to meet the bare minimum standard on accessibility. Open captions on all movies in all theatres improves accessibility for everyone. Take this short survey to lend your thoughts to Paul's efforts.
