Dairy alternatives recalled due to listeria. Please check your products.

As it’s Environmental Sensitivity and MCS month we would love to know how many disabled people representing the 1.1 million+ Canadians with severe reactions to chemicals and more with sensory issues are at this summit? @KamalKheraLib https://t.co/LYkTJoZXGB

[Maayan Ziv @maayanziv]

Today in Ottawa we are speaking about the barriers that disabled passengers face in air travel.

Folks around the table, disability, government and industry, are sharing remarks but more importantly we are pressing for tangible change and meaningful impact.

It is Environmental Sensitivity month and Multiple Chemical Sensitivity month! Remote options for events and ensuring your venues are fragrance free/low VOC, allergy aware and sensory safe allows more people to participate. Air purifiers with HEPA and high grade charcoal help.

[ESCoalitionCA @CoalitionCa]

The review does not contain mention of scented products or available masking for immunocompromised peoples, so if you need to interact with the judicial system in Canada, please reply to this request for review.

[Justice Canada @JusticeCanadaEN]

At Justice Canada, it is important to us to know if we’re making progress in removing barriers for people with disabilities. Provide your feedback on our Accessibility Plan: https://t.co/tEG5Gd7m3F #NDEAM

You can find all ingredients for Novavax and other Health Canada approved vaccines on their website. If you have environmental sensitivities, check with your immune specialists to determine which vaccines are safest for you. https://t.co/bu3VpDjDgB

[ESCoalitionCA @CoalitionCa]

Allergen/sensitivity awareness notice for Novavax Covid vaccine. One medicinal ingredient is a saponin from the soap bark tree. In high doses it can cause toxicity reactions. If you are a person who reacts to lower levels of detergents or saponins you could have side effects.

[ESCoalitionCA @CoalitionCa]

As saponins are detergents, this Novavax ingredient could be relevant to people with environmental sensitivities to detergents. https://t.co/11hzKwhfm8

Be very careful Toronto residents, this is damaging to people as well as wildlife. I would be wearing a mask near here or within wind range.

@cancelproof @ShopprsDrugMart Truth, it’s pretty sad that @canadapostcorp is allowed to be in such inaccessible locations. @AccStandardsCA, @CdnHumanRights and @CQualtro should be all over that.

[Erin Caton @erin]

With @ShopprsDrugMart being completely inaccessible (as a perfume store), they shouldn’t be allowed to even have prescriptions sold there, let alone have ‘medical clinics’.

[ESCoalitionCA @CoalitionCa]

Climate change, pollution and disability are all connected. We need bold policies to protect air quality indoors and outdoors. https://t.co/q6AkAaUXAm

[ESCoalitionCA @CoalitionCa]

If there’s a spill, it’s a pollutant. If you put it in a product, all of a sudden it’s okay. https://t.co/hZdB0aESvs

[ESCoalitionCA @CoalitionCa]

In Canada, there are a number of allowed dyes in products you wouldn’t suspect. Please see the table here and look out for allergens to chemical and natural dyes. We need these listed, so people can make safe informed choices. @AAFC_Canada @GovCanHealth https://t.co/9QJf69qAgW

[ESCoalitionCA @CoalitionCa]

Hidden allergy warning. Some produce is sprayed with food dyes to make them ‘more appealing’. Red potatoes, sweet potatoes, strawberries, oranges, pickles, apples and blueberries most likely. FDA approved in the US. Watch for imports. https://t.co/stc4NKmUJC

I first made this poster for an #MEAwarenessDay poster competition in 2008. It won!
Nothing has changed!

619 people died in one week in BC in 2021, directly as a result of not being able to escape the heat. Some died waiting for help that came too late.
This is your reminder that the two years later the BC Govt has done nothing to prevent the same happening again.
