Together, let's build a future where people are not measured by their disabilities, but instead by who they are and what they are capable of. Today is International Day of Persons with Disabilities, a day that aims to increase awareness and remind us of the role we have to play in fostering an inclusive environment that is accessible to all. We must value diverse abilities and be willing to learn from the experiences of disabled people. Let's work to build a more equitable and sustainable future for all Canadians. #InclusionIsForEveryone #IDPWD
