INCLUSION BENEFITS EVERYONE

December 3rd is The United Nations International Day of Persons With Disabilities where the theme for 2025 is:

“Fostering disability inclusive societies for advancing social progress"

And this year, on Saturday, December 6th, from 1 to 4 PM EST, Alliance For Equality of Blind Canadians is putting on a virtual day of events to mark the occasion.

This week on Outlook we’re speaking with President of AEBC, Marcia Yale, about going from the busy streets of Toronto to the busy summer/sleepy winters of Huntsville, about her experience at what was then the Ontario School for the Blind and then being integrated locally at home, and about how she got involved in AEBC and ended up in her current position there.

So check out the podcast and stay tuned for events all week, including replays on Youtube as We’re discussing more about AEBC and the speakers and panel happening on the 6th - all with her guide dog companion Nottingham supervising our conversation.

It’s true that inclusion does benefit everyone and that’s one of our main messages (of universal design principles) at the heart of what we do on this show.
