Congratulations to @KamalKheraLib on being sworn in as the Minister of Diversity, Inclusion, and Persons with Disabilities.

We look forward to working with you to build the #CanadaDisabilityBenefit and expand #disability inclusion across the country. #CabinetShuffle 1/2

[James Janeiro 🇨🇦🇺🇦 @james_janeiro]

Huge moment today. The Canada Disability Benefit could take an enormous bite out of the scourge of disability poverty in Canada. Big kudos to Min @CQualtro and PS @Irek_K for all the hard work and fighting to get here. Onwards to Royal Ascent and implementation! #canpoli #cdnpoli

Today is the day!!

The Canada Disability Benefit passed in the Senate and will soon receive Royal assent to become a law.

This is a historic moment for Canadian social policy and the financial security of people with disabilities throughout the country.

The Canada Disability Benefit is an urgently needed lifeline for people with disabilities living in poverty. We can’t end another parliamentary session without enshrining the CDB in law. Read more in our report with @prospercan: https://t.co/zUIAS4UjOl

Very encouraging to hear about a new bereavement training center. Thank you @CdnCaregiving and @mcgillu .

At PLAN we focusing more on bereavement and the grief process for people with developmental disabilities and their networks. It's good to continue to learn together.

[Canadian Centre for Caregiving Excellence @CdnCaregiving]

We are supporting a team at @mcgillu to develop a bereavement training center, intended to give frontline healthcare workers tools to support caregivers who are grieving the passing of the recipient of care. Learn more: https://t.co/UotC4OwYHe

Happy National Caregivers Day to all of those who give care and those who receive it! Today we also celebrate those doing innovative and impactful work to support and empower caregivers across the country.

Thank you @CdnCaregiving, @_BeyondServices, @Thomsod, and so many others!

[Planned Lifetime Advocacy Network (PLAN) @plannedlifetime]

It's National Caregivers Days in Canada and we celebrate all those giving care, and those who receive it.

Here's a story from Vickie Cammack about the ways natural caring transforms our neighbourhoods and gives us a pathway for hospitality and grace.

Way to go, Niall! We are so excited about your new film and can't wait to see it!

Love to hear this!

Canada has the means to end poverty and it is long past the time this should have been done. This article about older adults in poverty is devasting. Too many people with disabilities and their families are in the same situation.

[National Institute on Ageing 🇨🇦 @NIAgeing]

Women in Canada have a higher risk of poverty in their later years compared to men. “I have many women patients who are living in basement apartments… It’s all they can afford,” @SamirSinha tells @MoiraWelsh in @TorontoStar. https://t.co/nNui47uKLF

[Cormac Russell @CormacRussell]

We are living through a time of great revelation, where things that were hard to see or take seriously, are becoming clearer & valued: neighbourliness matters; relationships matter; care matters; place matters; we matter. We can see the community cake now-it looks amazing:

"... disability should be an integral part of every policy conversation. It needs to move from back-of-the-envelope to front-and-centre main page and stage."

Thank you Sherri Torjman for your article and calling attention to this.

Are you a parent or family member in #Calgary who is thinking about the future for your loved one with a disability?

PLAN Calgary is hosting an information session at the event of this month and would love to connect with you.

Here are the details:

This change to financial supports would put money in the pockets of caregivers who don’t benefit from current federal credits. It’s also an outstanding government commitment. We applaud @BonitaZarrillo for her leadership! https://t.co/v7dTVI7Aol #CanPoli #CdnCaregiving
