@KamalKheraLib The irony here is that you’re saying you want to hear from us and want us to bring out voice forward. What about deaf people? The wording can be improved. Consider revising: bring our thoughts forward, want to learn our ideas and experiences.

@deaftravel Your team did great tonight!

[David McGregor @DavidCBMcGregor]

Very true!

You may have heard before, "inclusion is the goal, diversity is the outcome." But how do we reach these? "Employers have to allow and enable diversity ... But in order to do so, they may also need to create spaces for expression of that diversity."

Communication is a vital part of accessibility! ISL / ASL / LSQ, plain language, captioning, braille, communication assistants, technologies, etc. are some ways persons with disabilities communicate. Inclusion becomes exclusion if we don't ensure the communication needs of others

[David McGregor @DavidCBMcGregor]

@deaftravel Yes they are.

Please think of these brave folks that go rushing TO the fires while we are running away from the fires.

To all government / non-government media reporting on the coronavirus and next steps, ensure that ASL / LSQ and captioning are included and required elements of all reporting. 22% of Canadians live with a disability, don't create further barriers during already trying times.
