Tori Lacey, 26, chronicled the troubling incident on her #TikTok & #Instagram pages, where she usually posts content about her #travel exploits as a person who uses a #wheelchair.
Far from meeting the expectations of #disability organizations – along with any of the scenarios presented by the PBO – the #GovernmentOfCanada has instead created a #CDB with a maximum annual support level of $2,400/person.
And despite widespread warnings about accessing the CDB through #DTC eligibility alone, the #Trudeau government has retained this #tax measure as the only way to qualify for the benefit.
Curtis's humiliation came from the fact that at his graduation, the ramp to get onto the stage was too steep & #inaccessible for #WheelchairUsers.
Curtis has #EhlersDanlos syndrome, a connective tissue disorder that causes joint dislocations & severe pain, which is why he uses a #wheelchair & has a service animal.
Devices such as #MobiMats allow people to move across the sand to the water on a sturdy platform, which would make it easier for people like Lumsdon to cross the beach.
...in #Toronto, the city says only three of its 10 supervised #swimming#beaches — Woodbine, Ward's Island & Centre Island — have #accessibility features like mats, decks or beach #wheelchairs that people can reserve ahead of their visit.
Advocates in #Quebec say Twibanire's experience highlights a years-long problem for people in #wheelchairs when they try to access #mammograms.
A Quebec advocacy group, The Regroupement des activistes pour l'inclusion au Québec #RAPLIQ , recently contacted 94 clinics across the province that offer mammograms. The result, they said, was that 43 per cent advised they couldn't accommodate people who use wheelchairs.
2 photos taken today, by one of my regular #LittleFreeLibrary guests. From a friendly senior lady, who I met 3 years ago, when I first set up my LFL. She's been telling folks about it since the first time we met & visits my LFL at least once a week. I gift her flowers & random fun goodies for her 4 grandchildren, when I have extras available to share. I've made friends with a few of my regular LFL guests 🥰
Today was a wonderful day with helping out two Aunties & hanging out with my Mom. We are becoming best friends, slowly.
Mom took this photo of me, in our backyard, when we got home. We're sending lots of newer family photos overseas this month & this will be one of them.
@CStamp I didn't know about that tag - edited & added. Except for new clothes gifted to me - everything in my closets are used from thrift/flea markets & free local clothing swaps or free giveaways of clothes. The last new thing I bought myself was a winter jacket, almost a decade ago - from off season clearance racks.
Age 30. At Coquitlam Town Centre.
On one of my part work/part leisure trips to Vancouver. I signed 2 work contracts on that trip😊
Back when my hair was jet black & hung down to my thighs. I wore it in half/full up-dos or in messy buns often back then.
