No way better to start day four of National Indigenous Disability Awareness Month, 2025 (IDAM), than to see the IDAM flag flying on the front lawn of our Nation's Capital City! @_MarkSutcliffe @lesliechurch @PattyHajdu @s_malcolmson @MarkJCarney @MandyGullMasty @LeahGazan

November is Indigenous Disability Awareness Month. Inclusion isn’t just about awareness; it’s about action. Supporting Indigenous Peoples with disabilities means addressing systemic inequities and ensuring equal access to opportunities, spaces, and decision-making.

Snuck in to watch our National Coordinator @julia_idcnc present to students in the Inclusive Education Assistant program at University of the Fraser Valley! Great job Julia! (With the time zone difference, this is probably the latest she has ever been up!)

If you’re even half as loyal to serving Indigenous Peoples with disabilities as you are to that hat, we’re all in good hands. But seriously… no amount of duct tape can save that thing...

Some people, I won't name names (@julia_idcnc) have made not so nice comments about my hat that I have worn faithfully for the past 30 years. I believe that, with the right amount of duct tape, this treasure has another 7 to 10 years left in it. What do you think?
