SUMMARY:Provincial Learning Event Webinar: Disability Awareness
DESCRIPTION:Register now  \nYou’re invited to join us for our May Provincial Learning Event\, an engaging and thought-provoking session focused on disability\, ableism\, and equity. We encourage you to register and be part of this important conversation. \nPeople with disabilities represent the world’s largest minority\, and the only minority group that any of us can become a member of at any time. And yet they still experience barriers\, prejudice\, and bias on a daily basis. \nThis workshop challenges all to more fully address ableist notions of how we think about\, and label\, our bodies\, minds\, and senses. \nIt also provides the tools to understand what disability is\, the types of disability\, the current language of disability\, what ableism is\, how you can actively work to fight against it\, and tips for disabled people and allies alike to better ensure equity in all that you do. \nLET’S disability workshops are created\, researched and facilitated by disabled people. \nPresented by: Heather McCain (they/them) is founder and Executive Director of Live Educate Transform Society (LET’S)\, a non-profit they started in 2005. \nHeather built LET’S from a small grassroots organization to an organization that delivers workshops and adds their voice to projects and events across Turtle Island (colonially known as North America). \nHeather’s own experiences as an asexual\, disabled\, neurodivergent\, queer\, trans person led them to become a well-known and respected advocate\, educator\, and speaker. Heather works to create equity\, celebrate diversity\, and educate about and implement accessibility.
