The theme for National AccessAbility Week this year is “ Breaking barriers together: Paving the way for an inclusive future .”

Established in 2017, National AccessAbility Week celebrates, promotes and showcases the diversity, inclusion and accessibility in this country, and highlights some of the important initiatives aimed at creating an Accessible Canada.

We begin and end in Cornwall with this one as we celebrate “Breaking Barriers” together through exploration and investigation.

The birds are out and for this Outlook, we’re back live, as we discuss the themes of this year’s National Accessibility Awareness Week (airport assistance stories) along with a few narrated image descriptions we all caught on our travels lately, with the birth of an old friend’s baby girl to the serenity of the resort’s deck in Cornwall, we share our image descriptions provided by accessibility app Be My Eyes.. From a shoutout to Scott the Uber driver, cheers to George, and thanks to Tim’s clear directions, we’re celebrating accessibility with kindred spirits and friends who make it easier instead of harder.

On this last May 2025 Mixed Bag show, Barry and Kerry share about a dog encounter on their recent springtime block rout walk with guide dog Oyster and brother co-host Brian shows us a musical release he found, Robyn Rocket from the UK with People You May Of Heard Of and an inclusive audio version of the record’s accompanying comic strip.

From chats with life guards and other visitors including the Cornish gulls at the seaside in Cornwall, England back into studio in London, Ontario - it’s National Accessibility Week, (end of May) as we soon bridge into June.
