Bill 46 is more then governance reform, it’s a significant redraft of the Act. These changes will directly impact inclusive education and the rights of students with a disability. @inclusionnb is doing a deep analysis of the act and will be advocating for amendments
Bill 46, amending the Education Act, changes more than governance. It contains significant changes to student rights and inclusive education. The Advocate’s Office was not notified of these changes and has not been consulted on the bill.
Inclusion NB is standing side by side with our 2SLGBTQIA+ community today and every day. Together, we are focused on creating an inclusive province where every person is valued, belongs and feels safe, no matter their abilities or sexual orientation and gender identity. 1/2
While Inclusive Education has been an area of focus since our inception, in recent days, you will have seen the conversation be brought to the forefront through media stories. We want to clarify some points that appeared in a recent piece by CBC. https://t.co/XCS01ebFjv

Yesterday, long-awaited changes to the Employment Standards Act were tabled in the legislature by Min. Holder. This is a significant moment for Kyra Thomas. Kyra worked for a large retailer for almost three years for 30 hours per week, receiving a stipend of $20. 1/4
We are working to ensure equality and inclusion for persons living with a disability by ending the practice of these important members of our workforce receiving less than minimum wage for the work that they do.

Chantelle Hyde’s daughter is 14-years-old, but developmentally around the age of a toddler. She says her daughter was secluded at school – and what’s worse - she wasn’t notified about her behaviour in the days leading up to her seclusion. Saturday at 7pm.
It’s been a long road advocating for the elimination of sub-min wage for PWD. So excited by GNB’s commitment in the Speech from the Throne. Looking forward to seeing the Bill with proposed changes to the Employment Standards Act. @InclusionNB@InclusionCA
Bill C-22 - this is framework legislation to create a new national disability benefit. We urge MPs to work in a non-partisan way and pass a unanimous motion to fast-track the Bill. People with disabilities cannot wait in poverty any longer.
