[VIDEO] Ashton Kennedy's story reinforces what we hear on a weekly basis. Instead of pushing #MAID onto persons with a disability, provide the supports so they can live on par with others. CEO Krista Carr with @globalnews.ca. globalnews.ca/video/117402.... #RepealTrack2 #MAID #abpoli #cdnpoli

Inclusion Canada is recognizing World Down Syndrome Day and the immense contributions those with Down Syndrome make to our society. This year’s theme is “Together Against Loneliness”. On this day - and every day - we commit to ensuring persons with disabilities are included and not isolated.

[RADIO] Inclusion Canada CEO Krista Carr was a guest on CBC's As it Happens. Learn more on how Canada's assisted suicide law discriminates against people with disabilities. Carr was asked about the Alberta's Bill 18 (Segment begins at 26:07) cbc.ca/listen/live-... #MAID #cdnpoli #abpoli

The Alberta Gov't is taking steps to scale back assisted suicide. We hope other provinces follow suit and provide the economic and social supports that enables individuals to thrive. Here is a BBC story that includes our President Moira Wilson. bbc.com/news/article.... #cdnpoli #abpoli #MAID

Inclusion Canada was in the Alberta Legislature as the province introduced Bill 18, a law to restrict assisted suicide. For persons with disabilities it is a step in the right direction. Thanks to Meagan Gillmore @cdnaffairs.bsky.social for including us. canadianaffairs.news/2026/03/19/a... #MAID

We commend the Government of Alberta for introducing Bill 18 today in the Legislature. Since Track 2 MAiD was introduced, 2,050 Canadians have died. They are people who may have needed support—not assisted death. Now we need national reform to save lives. www.inclusioncanada.ca/post/inclusi...

Three stories. One powerful message. Watch them here: www.inclusioncanada.ca/2026-fundrai... Dream. Believe. Belong. These are just a sample of the stories you’ll hear on April 23rd at Inclusion Canada’s National Fundraising Event. Save your free spot today: bit.ly/4leR600

We support Bill S-228, which would clarify that forced and coerced sterilization is aggravated assault. This is vitally important, because people with an intellectual disability continue to be sterilized today. Thanks @maddidelplain.bsky.social for her journalism. healthydebate.ca/2026/03/topi...

Check out the Feb 2026 edition of the Institution Watch newsletter! This month, they talk about the addition of Roy Skoreyko as a member, a new series focusing on the strategies people are using to create a vision for a home, and a feature on Steph's housing story. Read: mailchi.mp/peoplefirsto...

This news story serves as another example of how Canada's assisted suicide law has gone way too far. Parliament must say no to expanding Medical Assistance in Dying and also Repeal Track 2 which has claimed the lives of 2,050 people between 2021-2024. nationalpost.com/news/familie.... #cdnpoli #MAID

A joint committee of Parliament will give recommendations on the future of Canada's assisted suicide law. Our CEO Krista Carr spoke with @nationalpost.bsky.social and called on Parliamentarians to repeal Track 2 of #MAID and not widen further access. nationalpost.com/news/canada/... #cdnpoli

Today marks 16 years since Canada ratified the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD). Inclusion Canada will continue to work to ensure that Canada fully implements the #CRPD and delivers on equality and inclusion. It requires sustained leadership, accountability and action.

Inclusion Canada & Inclusive Education Canada honoured 3 people with Distinguished Leadership Awards. Ken Pike has given over 40-years improving the lives of persons with intellectual disabilities across Canada. Thanks @vanessavanv.bsky.social for having Ken on CBC Shift NB. cbc.ca/listen/live-...

Dream. Believe. Belong. Inclusion starts with a dream. It grows when we believe in each person’s gifts and potential. It becomes real when we take action. Join us on April 23rd 12pm - 12:45pm EST for Inclusion Canada’s National Fundraising Event. bit.ly/4leR600

March 3 was World Wildlife Day. Our current placement student, Prisha, wrote a blog post on this topic: the various ways in which people with an intellectual disability are disproportionately impacted by environmental changes. Read it here! www.inclusioncanada.ca/post/world-w...

We welcome @theglobeandmail.com’s editorial seeking a rebalancing of Canada’s assisted suicide law. "No Canadian should choose death because we refuse to pay for their care.” See our CEO Krista Carr's response below. www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/edit... (subscription required)

Inclusion Canada staff is honouring #PinkShirtDay! To help raise awareness about anti-bullying initiatives, people throughout Canada are being encouraged to show unity and wear a pink shirt on the last Wednesday of February, and this year marks the 19th anniversary.

Happy #KindnessWeek. From an Inclusion Canada perspective, the most lasting form of kindness is creating conditions and building communities where everyone belongs. Compassion and good intentions must be paired with structural inclusion. Kindness matters. Let’s choose inclusion. 💜

ICYMI, we launched our new 2026-29 Strategic Plan at the end of the year. This plan guides our work in the coming years by outlining the way we work to transform communities & systems and our tools for change. We encourage you to read through it & share. www.inclusioncanada.ca/resource?vie...

Our fifth federal priority is to stop Track 2 & the 2027 expansion to MAiD. The expansion to include mental illness as sole underlying condition must be stopped. The UN called on Canada in March to address barriers that drive PWD to request MAID. Read more: www.inclusioncanada.ca/resource?vie...

Our fourth federal priority is supporting families. Families face about $10,000 per year in extra costs raising a child with a disability. The CDB needs to be increased & our early learning and childcare system does not yet ensure inclusion. Read more: www.inclusioncanada.ca/resource?vie...

Our third federal priority is employment transformation. Thousands of people with intellectual disabilities remain in segregated "sheltered employment," working for little or no pay in special settings, while employers report labour shortages. Read more: www.inclusioncanada.ca/resource?vie...

Today Parliament returns to session. There will be many issues of the day. We want to remind all parties of the priorities that matter. We urge all MPs & Senators to put our 5 priorities for inclusion on the agenda of this session. See our full document here: www.inclusioncanada.ca/resource?vie...

Our second federal priority is inclusive housing and deinstitutionalization. Federal housing dollars still fund congregate, segregated models that isolate people with disabilities and violate Canada's obligations under the UN CRPD. Read more: www.inclusioncanada.ca/resource?vie...

Today is Bell Let's Talk Day. While today is important, we believe every day, people should be encouraged to talk and end the stigma. Today, and everyday, let's take a moment for mental health. More tools and resources can be found here: letstalk.bell.ca/tools-and-re... 💙 #BellLetsTalk

As we begin the new year & Parliamentary period, we have our eyes on a few federal priorities. Last year we met with many Parliamentarians pressing for change in several areas. Over the next week, we'll outline each of these priorities. Read the document: www.inclusioncanada.ca/resource?vie...
