Two years ago, we launched the Community Tools Project in collaboration with @Inclusion_Wpg. Today, we're excited to share this valuable resource with you again. Our user-friendly guide to communication tools in Winnipeg empowers individuals with disabilities and communication difficulties, along with their support networks. It's also a valuable reference for first responders during emergencies.

Explore this video, reviewing the guide's contents and highlighting communication tools in the Winnipeg community. Refresh your knowledge, increase awareness, and enhance your confidence in effective communication and engagement.

We encourage disability, human rights and other organizations / groups to follow suit and join us, @aclmanitoba and numerous other organizations across Canada in assuring your members that they will never be offered MAiD as an alternative necessary supports and services.

[Premier Personnel @premierpers]

Consider implementing assistive technologies such as screen readers. Be sure to ask those with disabilities to be involved in this process. It's important not to assume what is needed.

Inclusion Winnipeg. Since 1958.

We have come a long way in 65 years. What is inclusion nowadays? For people with intellectual disabilities, inclusion is living a regular life in the community side-by-side everyone else, every day & everywhere. It is really a simple concept.
