The TTC’s push to make Toronto’s transit system fully accessible by 2025 is in jeopardy, with the agency warning it will be “very challenging” to make the required improvements at two subway stations by the provincially set deadline.

I am hoping to compile a list of orgs that are run by or support people with #disabilities in Canada. I'm want to engage to build relationships and foster a strong focus on people's lived experience, the benefits of co-creation +and research. Interested in getting involved? #a11y

Some pundits claim Premier Ford has surprised many by appearing to do a great job during this crisis, better than some expected. For over 2.6 million Ontarians with disabilities, this is not the case.

Good news: our advocacy for an accessibility policy for social events at @OsgoodeNews was successful! Moving forward, all student government-run events will be held at accessible venues, and student club events will only receive funding if held in accessible spaces. #a11y

#TheRoastedNut is a unique café & nuttery offering health-minded snacks that showcase the art of traditional dry-roasting methods. In #WestQueenWest, this inviting space is great for a midday nutty experience. #Accessibility review on the website. #accessTO #Toronto #inclusion

My thoughts in light of the B.C. Taxi Association saying it will no longer subsidize #accessible vehicles. People with #disabilities deserve the same access to places as anyone else. The ability to use @Uber & @lyft has changed my life for the better. #ridehailing #ubervancouver

#CafeBoulud went through a bit of an overhaul - still elegant yet informal, it's is an accessible restaurant on all counts. There is space to store your mobility device and/or stroller at the front entrance. #accessTO #accessability #Toronto #inclusion #Torontofoodie #foodie
