Nothing Without Us!

Thursday, June 17th, 2021 11:30 AM to 12:45 PM

The disability community in Canada and internationally has continually called upon all levels of government to include persons with disabilities in its management of the current pandemic and recovery efforts. This side event would focus on how countries can take an overarching “Nothing without us” approach to the pandemic recovery and ensure full social and economic inclusion of persons with disabilities.

As the world around us continues to grapple with the COVID-19 pandemic, we find ourselves in a middle place between the optimism that comes with vaccine rollout in our community and deep sorrow for the ongoing trauma many are facing in India and elsewhere. If you are looking for ways to help, here is a list of suggestions from Maclean’s. 

A new report is now available describing an environmental scan of domestic and international good practices to integrate SGBA+ in health impact assessments to support implementation of new requirements in the Canada’s Impact Assessment Act.

A special event to discuss the findings is scheduled for May 6 at 1 p.m.

RSVP to info@criaw-icref.ca for a link to participate and a copy of the report.
 

A new report published this week provides the findings of research conducted to assist Employment and Social Development Canada in identifying good or best practices and lessons learned from the response to the COVID-19 pandemic in Canada.

Conducted in partnership with the DisAbled Women’s Network of Canada (DAWN), this research helps us better understand how diverse people with disabilities in Canada have been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and the effects of government COVID-19 measures on diverse people with disabilities in Canada.

Join researcher Dr. Laura Pin and panelists including Member of Provincial Parliament Mike Schreiner on Thursday, March 18, 2021, at 7 p.m. for an engaging and interactive conversation about the impact of COVID-19 on those living on low income during the first months of the pandemic. The panel also includes community leaders, and representatives from the Guelph-Wellington Task Force for Poverty Elimination, Services and Housing in the Province, and A Way Home Canada.
