Today is the International Day for Persons with Disabilities. As the only person with Cerebral Palsy to be a member of Ontario Legislative Assembly, I wrote to Minister @RaymondChoPC to express my disappointment with this government’s handling of accessibility in the province:

Through the Scotiabank Healthcare+ Physician Banking Program, as a physician when you open or switch to an Ultimate Package or Preferred Package chequing account, you pay no monthly account fee. Create your household at scotiabank.com/ca/en/healthca…. Conditions apply.

Lorin MacDonald is the 2024 Disability Changemaker of the Year! She's a respected disability advocate and human rights lawyer who raises awareness about accessibility and inclusion through her speaking, training, writing, and consulting work! @lorinmac

A great accessibility solution from Dr. Purdy! However it shouldn't be the burden of individuals to make their environment more accessible. Healthcare needs universal design!

Today, we take the first steps towards a new future for CMA, one that we are committed to building in collaboration with First Nations, Inuit, and Métis communities. Our statement: bit.ly/4e7OooA

So proud of Dr. Julia Hanes!!! She's a Paralympic shot put and javelin thrower — and doctor. Meet LaSalle, Ont.'s Julia Hanes cbc.ca/news/canada/wi…

What a Paralympic debut for Dr. Julia Hanes. She had the Paralympic record in her classification before he was surpassed by the next competitor. She finishes 8th overall in the javelin F33. A doctor. Wheelchair basketball. Para ice hockey. Wheelchair rugby. She does it all.

CanChild alumna Julia Hanes is competing for Gold! Help us cheer her on! Watch the livestream here: gem.cbc.ca/live-event/454…
