Bill C-20 has now received Royal Assent! We are one step closer to providing eligible Canadians with disabilities a one-time, tax-free payment of $600. We will continue to work hard to support all Canadians. 🇨🇦

Absolutely no excuse is right @davidLepofsky. Come on @TTChelps you had 20 years to do this! People with disabilities don’t deserve excuses!

I am hoping to compile a list of orgs that are run by or support people with #disabilities in Canada. I'm want to engage to build relationships and foster a strong focus on people's lived experience, the benefits of co-creation +and research. Interested in getting involved? #a11y

Good news: our advocacy for an accessibility policy for social events at @OsgoodeNews was successful! Moving forward, all student government-run events will be held at accessible venues, and student club events will only receive funding if held in accessible spaces. #a11y

My thoughts in light of the B.C. Taxi Association saying it will no longer subsidize #accessible vehicles. People with #disabilities deserve the same access to places as anyone else. The ability to use @Uber & @lyft has changed my life for the better. #ridehailing #ubervancouver

#CafeBoulud went through a bit of an overhaul - still elegant yet informal, it's is an accessible restaurant on all counts. There is space to store your mobility device and/or stroller at the front entrance. #accessTO #accessability #Toronto #inclusion #Torontofoodie #foodie
