It's day 138 of reminding the @CityofEdmonton that it is not an "inconvenience" when disabled residents can't utilize city facilities or participate in taxpayer funded events because of barriers to accessibility. It's a human rights issue. They should know that. But they don't so I'm reminding them every single day until they provide proper inclusivity and ableism training to staff, managers, decision makers and council members. With proper training, their communications team would know about disability inclusive language. With proper training, City council members could identify barriers to access and might think twice before using tax dollars to fund civic engagement activities that exclude members of a marginalized community. Hopefully training can be arranged before we get to day 100000. #InclusionMatters #yegcc @YEGMayorOffice

25 million trees 🌳 The amount of CO2 they store is equal to the saving we will see at Normand’Hy, where we provide 12 electrolyzers. This is just 1 small step on the #energytransition journey, but every forest is made up of many trees, and every tree starts out as a small plant.

The 9/11 Stair Climb was really hard, but no one complained as we honored the brave men and women that chose to run into burning towers to save others. Almost my entire team wasn’t alive on 9/11/01. That’s why I’m so proud that they still keep it a priority. NEVER FORGET 🇺🇸. #NeverForget #proudcoach

Another article about students not using office hours. This same discussion has been going on for at least 20 years! Honestly, we can put a man on the moon but we cannot figure out how to get students to go to office hours. chronicle.com/article/the-mi…
