Great time back at the curling rink to bring greetings at the First Steps Wellness Centre wheelchair curling funspiel.

First Steps Wellness Centre is a specialized rehab facility to promote functional recovery in individuals with a spinal cord injury.

@Cha_Linds @SpencerFernando @JustinTrudeau And @Cha_Linds we don’t think anything anyone says or does will change your mind so have a lovely day and we will continue on helping those with disabilities learn to move again and #recognizepotiential in themselves.

@Cha_Linds @SpencerFernando @JustinTrudeau Thank you. And we can agree to disagree? From this side there are an a lot of charities we know with ⬇️ funding this year while a group like that continues to receive full funding. The conflict comes from some specific and controversial questions that were asked in tick boxes.

[First Steps Wellness @FSWCRegina]

@Cha_Linds @SpencerFernando @JustinTrudeau If you can let us know where to come up with the extra $5,000 compared to last years funding then please do share. As of now we get a part-time student for 8 weeks. A long shot from last years full 16 week funding for 2 university students and one high school student.

@SpencerFernando How about cutting funding to a charity that works with kids with physical disabilities. @JustinTrudeau gov’t is making it impossible for us to hire summer students, but to protestors- full funding! #discriminationquestions

[First Steps Wellness @FSWCRegina]

@DarrenSproat Gov’t cutting summer grant funding to charities that help children with disabilities and give university students hands on job training, but funding full summer positions to protest a pipeline. #nowwhat #charity #cerebralpalsy #scirecovery @UofRegina @JustinTrudeau @AndrewScheer

[First Steps Wellness @FSWCRegina]

@MichelleRempel @Kauwhaka Thanks @JustinTrudeau for saying no to a charity that works with Children with Physical disabilities as well. #wewouldntdiscriminate #fundingcut #nowwhat

Our Childrens Program expands for the summer. We rely on Summer Grant Students to help these kids with #CerebralPalsy #BrainInjury & other disabilities during their therapy. Granted 1/3 the usual amount, how do we make up the difference? @PremierScottMoe @pamccowan @JustinTrudeau

[First Steps Wellness @FSWCRegina]

Yearly we receive important funding from the Summer Student Grant Program. This year they’d rather pay for pipeline protestors than a charity that helps children and adults with neuromuscular disabilities @ctvregina @CBCRegina @pamccowan @JustinTrudeau @GlobalRegina @AndrewScheer

[First Steps Wellness @FSWCRegina]

@WBrettWilson @gmbutts @liberal_party @dogwoodbc We’re a charity in Saskatchewan and not only are they funding pipeline protestors, but this year they’re also cutting funding for us to get summer students to work with children with disabilities. How does a charity make up these lost funds? They don’t!
