Thank you Graeme McCreath for your words on @cfax1070 with @Adam_Stirling. It is appalling to hear that @CityOfVictoria is using public finds to fight to against the rights of people with disabilities, particularly when they constantly promote themselves as inclusive.

[It's Your Right @ItsYourRightBC]

Please tune into @cfax1070 and @Adam_Stirling at 11:00 AM today to hear accessibility advocate Graeme McCreath share his thoughts on floating bus stops.

“Look at this sidewalk. Scooters, scaffolding, signs, outdoor dining areas all blocking access.”

Sidewalks are a disability rights issue.
Clear, unobstructed, accessible sidewalks are a disability rights issue.

🏠 Ensuring everyone can live a full, dignified life is the right thing to do.

That’s why, for the first time in 16 years, shelter rates have increased today by 33% for those on income and disability assistance.

We know there is more to do and we are committed to doing it.
