This is absolutely crazy and I am sure against HRM regulations.

Five blocks in a row where the sidewalks are closed on both sides because contractors decided to do every curb cut on the same day.

@MikeSavageHFX This is Wonderful, but please fix the Accessible Seating…placing the disabled where no one wants to sit is disrespectful. Who wants to sit behind the corner flag, with warm up players blocking view of play and with jumbo screen immediately behind the disabled seating :(

[Marco Pasqua @Marco_Pasqua]

Yes! It's about time someone addressed this. Hopefully this sets precedence for other provinces to follow suit. https://t.co/W4gbZiQpKk 🏡♿️

Well. @AirCanada left my chair in Toronto. I’m now without my essential equipment. Independence taken away. I’m furious. Unacceptable. #RightsOnFlights

Today I had the privilege of introducing Bill 361, Provincial Court Act Amended; it is similar to the Federal Bill known as Kiera’s law. It would ensure that the Chief Judge of the Provincial Court of Nova Scotia will establish education courses for judges of the provincial Court respecting sexual assault law, intimate partner violence, coerce control in intimate partner and family relationships and social context.
Unfortunately, I am contacted too often by victims of Family Violence and Abuse and victims of sexual assault who often feel re-victimized by the legal system. I meet with victims from Cumberland North and have also been contacted by persons outside Cumberland North.

Last year, Vicki Godfrey contacted me and asked if I could advocate to bring Keira’s Law to Nova Scotia. Vicki Godfrey is Co-Lead of the Court She Said Canada. Today, Vicki shared these comments: “Keira’s Law will positively impact the lives of domestic violence survivors and their children, ensuring judges and related professions in the family court system are educated on the insidious effects of DV and coercive control pre and post-separation. Domestic violence is relevant to parenting and the best interests of the child. Jennifer Kagan, Keira’s mother, has worked tirelessly to spotlight systemic failures harming mothers and children. NS mothers experiencing post-separation abuse are grateful and empowered to work toward much-needed reform.”

Earlier this year, the federal government adopted Bill C-233, whereby federal judges would receive this type of specific education, and this bill would bring the same requirements to Nova Scotia.

The federal law was named in honour of Keira Kagan, a four-year-old found dead with her father in 2020 in an apparent murder-suicide after being left in his care. Her mother had tried, in vain, to have the courts recognize the danger her daughter faced from her father, who had a history of intimate partner violence.

If you want the Nova Scotia government to adopt this Bill, please get in touch with your MLA, Premier and Minister of Justice for Nova Scotia. @ChenderClaudia #familyviolence #sexualassault #misogyny #education

It’s wonderful what these businesses are trying to achieve but restoring a historic building doesn’t mean we must also restore our public safety & accessibility standards to historic levels until they can afford to meet our current modern standards!

In case you were wondering……keep COVID rapids at home. And remember, not everyone with COVID is very very sick. A big new headache and fatigue alone can also be COVID. Testing let’s you #knowyourstatus, protect others and access treatment for those at high risk. #testingwin

@HFXWanderersFC Please improve accessibility for wheelchair users…design it to the Rick Hansen Foundation Gold Standard! I don’t want to sit behind a corner flag where no-one else wants to sit. I want to be able to sit mid-field to enjoy full view of the game. Thank you!
