Deciding to disclose a disability to an employer is a personal choice, one that many people grapple with. Here are some suggestions to help navigate this complex decision, focusing on when, why, and how to share this information safely and strategically. wgbh.org/news/local/202…

Accessibility is a right. Students face unreliable elevators at school, turning daily activities into major challenges. It's crucial that institutions prioritize functioning accessibility to ensure all students can participate fully in campus life. theridernews.com/elevator-issue…
More of this everywhere is needed: Regina Mayor Sandra Masters announced a new aquatic center will include an elevator, making the high waterslide accessible to all. This proactive design ensures accessibility is built-in, not an afterthought. globalnews.ca/news/10408494/…

Universal Accessibility is important to all of us...we have a couple of walks exploring this important topic...register for free at: janewalksyeg.wordpress.com #janeswalkyeg
@AACyeg members are coming along to provide their insights!
“As a neurodivergent individual, I firmly believe that the inclusion of neurodivergent voices in municipal decision-making is not just a matter of representation, but a fundamental step towards building truly just and inclusive communities,” says WAVE member Santana Febrey.
We commemorate a lot of awareness days, but what is on the other side of awareness? How can we go beyond it? #AutismAcceptanceMonth answers that question, encouraging us not just to reach awareness, but to find acceptance and to celebrate differences. 🧵
“Equity for neurodiverse individuals is not merely an option; it's a prerequisite for fostering understanding, empathy, and progress in our society's journey towards genuine inclusivity and acceptance.” #CelebrateDifferences #Neurodiversity #AutismAwareness CC @AACyeg
2 Rottweilers and a human in a wheelchair isn't the typical hotel guest at most places. We'd like to give a woof of approval to the @HamptonByHilton where we stayed in Red Deer. As far as accessibility goes, this is one of the best hotels we've found so far and we didn't have to…
Budget 2024 is April 16. As we approach budget day, the National Disability Network calls on the govt to adequately fund the CDB in Budget 2024. On Feb 9th we wrote to govt with our recommendations. See our brief here -> CDB Budget Brief inclusioncanada.ca/wp-content/upl…
This is the best news. Thank you to all of the speakers, including WAVE members, who spoke up on this issue.
Edmonton City Council just voted in favour of creating a 2SLGBTQIA+ working group and action plan! We’re so thankful for all the community voices whose efforts and stories made this possible: @e2s_2, @YegPride, Fyrefly, @Transrightsyeg, and @equityYEG ...and many more!
@AACyeg Thank you for helping to #EndTheStereotypes!
@servicerotties @AndrewKnack @kerentangyeg @takeETSalert @AACyeg One other thing I have noticed is sometimes LRT stop announcements are off (wrong stop name announced). For me it’s not a problem but for someone more impaired I can imagine them getting off at a completely wrong stop and getting very lost
@servicerotties @AndrewKnack @kerentangyeg @takeETSalert @AACyeg I think a liaison a great idea. With the electronic banners, I feel like all the drivers use it as they please. This seems like an easy fix. Just put out a bulletin saying bus numbers / route names only.
@Coffee4Life365 @AndrewKnack @kerentangyeg @takeETSalert One of our suggestions was a dedicated Accessibility/Accomodations line. Like a 311 for disability related concerns with a few really well trained staff that can advocate, liaison, make sure access issues are really looked at. Your request is reasonable. Maybe @AACyeg can help?
Accessibility in Edmonton I want to thank @servicerotties for taking me out yesterday, along with my colleague @kerentangyeg, to better understand what it’s like to navigate Edmonton with a mobility aid. #yeg #yegcc
We have some concerns about the proposed Public Spaces Bylaw that is being discussed today at #yegCC. Share our concerns? Please reach out to your City Councillor and let them know. Here’s the full text of the letter we sent to #yegCC: tr.ee/YKM6NZAlLX
@AACyeg Even if we had legislation within the next year, grandfathering clauses would prevent real change from happening in the next decade. However, municipalities could make accessibility (or a comprehensive accomodations plan for old buildings) a requirement for business licenses
@AACyeg Thank you for this. I have already registered.
Every year the @CityofEdmonton plows block the curb ramps. After complaints they send someone else to clear them. By March the plow drivers learn not to push the snow there. It would improve accessibility and save tax dollars to do it right the first time. @AACyeg
We’re excited to hear from @kelloinclusive at #EquityinMotion on Jan. 31. Katie’s keynote will deconstruct the concepts of ableism, accessibility, and allyship as they relate to disability in media — key aspects of building a more equitable society. eventbrite.ca/e/discussion-o…
@AACyeg Even finding accessible medical care is nearly impossible. Unless they have a lift or adjustable exam table it's generally impossible to get properly examined at a GPs office. The few that can accommodate have wait lists for patients.
Call 311 if you see a City of Edmonton owned property that does not have its walk shovelled. @AACyeg
"You can't go out in the winter in a wheelchair" "You should get someone else to walk the dogs" "It's not safe for someone like you to go out this time of year" We hear things like a lot. Both from able bodied people and members of the disabled community who have been convinced…
