STUDENT RALLY PROJECT

Hi there;  

Sorry, but I guess I have been very busy and regret that I have not been on here lately.  You might be asking yourselves "what is Cathy up to these days?"   

Well…..as we all know 2014 has begun, whether we want it to or not.  I choose to believe (because Thora keeps telling me so) that this is going to be a great year.

To start off this month, we are excited to be meeting the students at Kwantlin Polytechnic University who will be working with us on a huge project to gather personal life stories from persons with disabilities and get those stories out to the masses.  We know from recent experience that students (young people in general) are great to work with - as they were with the Pearson / Dogwood re-development project.  What a great bunch of young people to lead us into the future.  Let the work begin….


SO……what can you do, you may ask?……….if you are disabled or live with or are related to someone who is disabled you may wish to share your experiences as well about that relationship and how their disability (or yours) affects you and others you love.  The end result of this project will be a mass rally (this means you, your friends, your relatives, your friends' friends and even anyone you don't know) to be held on Saturday, April 5, 2014 somewhere in Vancouver (possibly indoors - details to follow soon)  

We welcome any and all suggestions or help.  Don't wait….. respond now.  We need you!
