We acknowledge that what we call Alberta is the traditional and ancestral territory of many peoples, presently subject to Treaties 6, 7, and 8. Namely: the Blackfoot Confederacy – Kainai, Piikani, and Siksika – the Cree, Dene, Saulteaux, Nakota Sioux, Stoney Nakoda, and the Tsuu T’ina Nation and the Métis People of Alberta. This includes the Métis Settlements and the Six Regions of the Métis Nation of Alberta within the historical Northwest Metis Homeland. We acknowledge the many First Nations, Métis and Inuit who have lived in and cared for these lands for generations. We are grateful for the traditional Knowledge Keepers and Elders who are still with us today and those who have gone before us. We make this acknowledgement as an act of reconciliation and gratitude to those whose territory we reside on or are visiting.

After breaking his neck in 2004 from a diving accident, Sean Crump now lives his life as a quadriplegic. At the time, Sean was faced with the choice of being angry and focusing on what he lost, or being grateful for what he still had. Choosing the latter, Sean has dedicated the better part of his professional career to bettering accessibility and inclusion in society.

As the co-founder of Included by Design, Sean’s goal is to create communities where all people feel comfortable conducting daily tasks, participating in social events and contributing to their economic well-being as though spaces were designed to accommodate all people regardless of their unique characteristics.

Sean is a seasoned public speaker and facilitates workshops on accessibility and inclusion. His bold communication style paired with his in-depth knowledge in universal design, accessibility, and disability inclusion will captivate and inspire your guests.

Sean has short brown hair and some facial hair. He is wearing a white shirt with a black collar and black trim on the sleeves.
