@HaltonDSB - suggesting a small, but very important edit to your caption:

📣 Shout out to Lacrossing Barriers! (Best name ever!)🥍🇨🇦

Their incredible programming is breaking down barriers and providing opportunities for everyone to play lacrosse, a sport that holds immense significance in Canadian history and culture.

[Jen Gallupe Roos @jgalluperoos]

Their creativity, passion and enthusiasm is truly contagious! They truly embody the theme of National AccessAbility week: “from possibilities to practice”.

Check out @lacrossingbarriers and get involved if you can!

@HWDSB How does one event a year for students with disabilities support access to athletics? What about the rest of the year? Please listen to the disability community to understand the ableism behind these single day events.

@HWDSB_athletics @NFH_Huskies @HWDSB While the day itself was great, our students with disabilities deserve so much more. Why don’t our disabled athletes get the same opportunities for athletics programming throughout the year as our non-disabled athletes?

[Jen Gallupe Roos @jgalluperoos]

Thank you, @JaysCare, for empowering individuals with disabilities to thrive on and off the field. Let's continue breaking barriers and fostering a more accessible world!

No better place to celebrate National Accessibility Week than at a Blue Jays game with my Sr. Challenger Baseball athletes! ☀️⚾️🔥

Huge shoutout to the Jays Care Foundation for championing disability-centred sports in schools and creating programs like Challenger. Their vision for inclusion has changed countless lives, mine included.

Today’s spotlight is on We Rock the Spectrum in Oakville! 🌟

I had the opportunity to visit this inclusive gem today on a field trip and it was an unforgettable experience! From sensory-rich play to adaptive equipment, they truly empower children of all abilities.
