I LOVE Hydraulics!! While working for the Ontario Government I was advocating for the use of hydraulic's to achieve accessibility for Judge's presiding over Ontario Courtrooms! Isn't it great seeing this Barber back at the work he knows and loves? INNOVATION can remove all types of barriers to access - share any and all ideas; you never know where a solution will show it's head.

A one of a kind, high-tech chair is giving an Okanagan barber who lost both his legs a chance to open up his shop once again.

I totally enjoyed presenting at the University of Guelph Accessibility Conference earlier today! The organizers of the conference put a great agenda together and it was nice spending a day with like-minded individuals. We need more events like this where we can share ideas and keep the AODA ball rolling. Plan to attend in 2013!

Here is an opportunity to provide input on the Law Commission of Ontario's framework for the law as it impacts persons with disabilities. The report was released yesterday and the Commission will accept feedback until May 2, 2012. Once complete, the framework will assist legislators and policy makers to consider the impacts of new/existing laws and policies on persons with disabilities. There is a lot of material so I suggest that your Accessibility Advisory Committee might like to review and comment as a group.
