📣 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.
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?
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!
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.
🌟 Wednesday’s Spotlight for National AccessAbility Week was on Easter Seals!
Did you know that @eastersealson provides life-changing services for kids with disabilities? Adaptive equipment, technology, inclusive summer camps and so much more!! Let's celebrate their dedication!
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.
