Dear Municipal Leaders-The winter brings additional challenges for those using mobility aids. Sidewalks that are unsafe due to snow and ice mean people stay indoors rather than taking chances leading to social isolation. Please #clearthesidewalks. #safetyfirst #getoutstayactive
We saw that one - it's so important to have a contractor who understands accessibility. Functional and accessible are not the same thing.
Loving @hgtvcanada Family Home Overhaul - I will point out that S1 Ep2 @CherylHickeyETC references producing a ‘completely accessible’ home. While the reno produced a beautiful and far more functional home it is in no way accessible. Language matters.
There are solutions. Consultants including colour designers, accessibility strategists and chefs who specialize in hospital food can help. Physicians can prescribe walking programs just as they prescribe pharmaceuticals. We need to embrace treatments that are more holistic.
With comments on #COVID19 like poster Charlie McMillan makes, I’d hide my face too. #Unbelievable #ageism

“Mr. Jordan had some time on his hands. He started posting funny little videos of himself in isolation twice a day on Instagram. Today, he has almost 5M followers, a new show and a potential book deal.” #OPAC #OldPeopleAreCool @linkedsenior @Hilar4Charity buff.ly/3g9jHkj

This is devastatingly sad. The number of people who didn’t even go to the hospital is frightening.
