Canada’s new cabinet is missing something vital: a Minister for Disability. The role once held by Carla Qualtrough is gone. Without it, who’s accountable for advancing accessibility, rights, and equity?

Let’s be opportunistic. Let’s grab this moment for ourselves to build Canada, to make it the country that we want it to be.
L’accessibilité et le design universel NE COÛTENT PAS plus chers. Si un architecte, un designer ou un entrepreneur vous dit le contraire, trouvez-en un autre. #NB #AccessibleNB
Accessibility & universal design are NOT more expensive. If an architect, designer or contractor tells you that it is, find a new one. #NB #AccessibleNB

Through struggle and discipline, persistence and faith, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. helped move this country forward. As we honor his legacy today, let’s remember the lesson he taught us: that even in the face of impossible odds, people who love this country can help change it. In honor of #MLKDay, I hope you’ll do what you can in your community to create a better future for us all.
