My review of Little Dickens at @thegrandlondon. It's a wonderfully ribald and entertaining holiday show -- but leave the kiddos at home. #ldnont

Off to see Little Dickens tonight at The Grand. Here's my review of their other show, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, which opened Friday.

I've been a @Raptors fan since day one. Last year, I went to my first game... and it was the one where we got evacuated because a speaker caught on fire. Today, we're in Detroit for Raptors' game one -- take two!!!!

The @NorthernComm team is still going strong! We had one person donate $400. We also had someone give us a box of saltines. Both are equally appreciated as every little bit makes a difference.

We'll be at the Food Basics in Sherwood Forest Mall until 5! #ldnont @businesscares

[Jay Ménard @JayCMenard]

Join the @NorthernComm team today at Food Basics in Sherwood Forest Mall to support the @businesscares food drive! We'll be here all day until 5 pm collecting donations (cash, non-perishable food items, feminine hygiene and baby products). I hope to see you soon! #ldnont

My review of Elf at the @thegrandlondon! A perfectly packaged gift of holiday joy.

Just finished a community consultation for @lpsmediaoffice . There is one more formal consultation if you're interested, or you can fill out the survey online. Share your thoughts on police priorities, and identify what issues matter most to you. #ldnont https://t.co/mNxrWheXmh

And don't forget about cultural sensitivities too. Some religions forbid gelatin, so check those gummies!

Toys, stickers, tatoos (temporary or real if you have the time/skills) are good alternatives! Let's make sure everyone can have a happy and safe Hallowe'en! #Halloween 2/2

[Jay Ménard @JayCMenard]

What's the deal with teal? Consider having some alternatives to candy around. The teal pumpkin indicates that you are offering things for people with allergies.

I'm lucky... people generally don't hand out fishy death to kids. But peanuts are in a lot of candy...1/2 #Halloween

Come on down to "Storyboo" Gardens and bring the kids for some trick or treating. Stop by and say hi to us at the accessible trick or treating booth at the end of the path! #ldnont

Hey @SamsungCanada and @BestBuyCanada, your warranty may cover acts of god, but where do you stand on Acts of Dog? Asking for a friend who once wore a Cone of Pride but today wears a Cone of Shame.

[Jay Ménard @JayCMenard]

I try not to get too jargony, but occasionally I'll throw out terms like "unintentional barriers," "systemic ableism," and the like. I usually try to make analogies to illustrate my thoughts, but I haven't found a great one.

Until now. #accessibility

I totally forgot I entered the @CanadaDrives ultimate Grey Cup experience contest... until I won a $500 @CFL gift card. I redeemed it for some sweet @MTLAlouettes merch! A nice mix of new and vintage (and, of course, a Christmas ornament.) Time to channel my inner Sonny Wade #cfl

[Jay Ménard @JayCMenard]

Very pleased with the @CityofLdnOnt discussion at Civic Works re: electric scooters. Thankful committee realised the significant risks outweighed the near-imperceptible rewards. Appreciate @jesse_helmer presenting many arguments we at ACCAC made in our position. #ldnont.

[Jay Ménard @JayCMenard]

I saw this last night and I wholeheartedly agree. Anyone who has read my reviews in the past knows I'm not one to shy from the truth. And while I'm not reviewing this because my wife's in it, it really was a powerful production from all involved. Well worth seeing #ldnont!

[Jay Ménard @JayCMenard]

Please be mindful of how you park and be considerate of those with mobility challenges. It may be minor for you, but for someone in a wheelchair or pushing a stroller, it can be a much more challenging experience. 2/2 #accessibility #ldnont

Hi, I'm Jay. ACCAC chair and long-time #accessibility advocate. You may know me from #ldnont tragi-comedies like "Why Rich People Prioritize Lawns and Driveways Over People with Disabilities"
I'm here to talk about unintentional barriers. Every day I see a variation of this. 1/2
