Lorin MacDonald is the 2024 Disability Changemaker of the Year! She's a respected disability advocate and human rights lawyer who raises awareness about accessibility and inclusion through her speaking, training, writing, and consulting work! @lorinmac

A great accessibility solution from Dr. Purdy! However it shouldn't be the burden of individuals to make their environment more accessible. Healthcare needs universal design!

Today, we take the first steps towards a new future for CMA, one that we are committed to building in collaboration with First Nations, Inuit, and Métis communities.

What a Paralympic debut for Dr. Julia Hanes. She had the Paralympic record in her classification before he was surpassed by the next competitor.

She finishes 8th overall in the javelin F33.

A doctor. Wheelchair basketball. Para ice hockey. Wheelchair rugby. She does it all.
