Persons with disabilities play a vital role in shaping a more inclusive future. With Minister @KamalKheraLib this week, we highlighted this leadership — and the essential work of organizations that support it. Thank you for all that you do.

As a Nigerian in Canada living with Disability, it’s a privilege to have an organization like this. Nigeria has a long way to go when it comes to Disability.

🐾 It's National #ServiceDogMonth 🐾 Not all disabilities are visible, and many people with invisible disabilities rely on service animals too. Businesses must understand the legal definition of service animals to foster inclusive, accessible spaces for all. 💙 #PWD
