Join the conversation on January 9th 2013 at 7pm, at the additional Waterloo Region Budget Public Input Session. Register your presentation before the Regional Council by January 3rd at noon.
Before you do, take a look at what some of the delegations were presenting at the last input session on December 5th that lasted from 6 pm until after 9 pm.
Monday December 3rd is the United Nations International Day of Persons with Disabilities. The theme for 2012 is: Removing Barriers to Create and Inclusive and Accessible Society for All.
The reality of day to day life with a disability is not easily understood by those of us who do not experience 
these challenges. We can all become better informed and play a role in removing barriers to inclusion. This December 3rd, take time to consider barriers in our community and how these limit the full participation of many amongst us.
The Social Planning Council Kitchener Waterloo is proud to announce that our field placement student, Narine Sookram, is the recipient of the Waterloo Award
The Kitchener-Waterloo Disabilities and Human Rights Group has prepared a document outlining their concerns with the proposed AODA Built Environment Standards. Included are recommendations to ensure the standard is meaningful to the lives of people with disabilities.
