Brematson & Associates supports a Barrier Free Manitoba
Posted on: Friday, Oct 2nd, 2009
The following is an excerpt from Barrier Free Manitoba web page. Please contact them directly for more information.
Every day, 170,000 Manitobans with disabilities face barriers that prevent their full participation in activities most others take for granted. These barriers are in fundamental conflict with the basic rights of persons with disabilities established in the Charter of Rights and Freedoms and in federal and provincial human rights codes.
Individual Action Kit: Contact your MLA!
What a week it's been! Within days of the launch of the Fair Access for ALL campaign, candidates for the NDP leadership said that they would introduce accessibility-rights legislation. Now that’s progress. But this falls far short of the campaign goal – to get a firm commitment from the government to enact the legislation during the next legislative session. We really need support from each and every MLA and from all three political parties.
Please contact your MLA, tell them that Manitoba needs to take action and ask for their support. Yes, it is really important that you make your voice heard. Politicians listen when their constituents contact them.

It’s easy to put it off and then forget about it. Act now and now that you helped make a Manitoba a better province for everyone. And getting a couple of your friends and family to contact their MLAs too would be wonderful.
