Lake Shebandowan. HAGI has always operated the camp with a combination of fundraising and summer rentals. HAGI will immediately start fundraising and planning for a new program that will be similar to the Make-A-Wish foundation and provide opportunities to attend cultural, recreational and sporting events. “We will build on partnerships with existing disability arts and recreation organizations, and build toward a very positive future”, said HAGI Executive Director David Shannon. Mr. Shannon also said, “It is with much thought and difficulty that the Board made this decision. However, with the new direction that it is taking, we believe that there will be better recreation and arts opportunities for persons with a disability in Northwestern Ontario, and we will be able to focus on the people right in our region who need us to help them access these opportunities the most. I believe that after people consider where we are going with the future of this program they will be very excited.” The Wilderness Discovery Family Resort & Conference Centre was developed in the early 1980’s, by the Handicapped Action Group Incorporated, to promote outdoor recreation for persons with a disability.

  • Letter to Provincial and Territorial Ministers from Minister Qualtrough and Minister Hajdu – April 14, 2020
    Letter to Provincial and Territorial Ministers from Minister Qualtrough and Minister Hajdu – April 14, 2020 Dear Minister: We are writing to draw your attention to specific challenges being experienced, as well as concerns being raised by Canadians with a disability, with respect to our public health care system in this time of COVID-19 pandemic. We know you would agree that persons with disabilities are particularly vulnerable and have unique needs as we go through this public health crisis, and we are sincerely grateful to provincial and territorial governments for your equal commitment to disability inclusion. While provincial and territorial governments have been leading preparations for health care organizations to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic, we are taking this opportunity to share legitimate concerns that have been brought to our attention. From the onset, we have been considering the interests and needs of persons with disabilities in our decisions and measures adopted in response to the pandemic. We do this by putting a disability lens on decision-making, namely ensuring that our actions are based on the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and on Canada’s international human rights obligations, including those under the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, and consulting national disability organizations, stakeholders and other levels of government. Despite our collective efforts, persons with disabilities across the country are worried and expressing that their unique needs are not being taken into consideration, and that they are not being treated equitably. To this end, we have recently established a COVID-19 Disability Advisory Group comprised of experts in disability inclusion.

  • A Report on Consumer Racial Profiling in Nova Scotia
    Working Together to Better Serve All Nova Scotians A Report on Consumer Racial Profiling in Nova Scotia May 2013 © Nova Scotia Human Rights Commission Preface It has been a privilege to work with so many Nova Scotians on the Consumer Racial Profiling Project. This study is the first of its kind in Canada. At the Nova Scotia Human Rights Commission, we value the contribution each person has made to this heir study. T efforts have brought us one step closer to the project goal: working together to better serve all Nova Scotians. A fundamental principle of human rights is the right to be treated with dignity, respect, fairness, and equality, and to participate be able to fully in our society. When these basic rights are violated, whether intentionally or not, we as citizens have a responsibility to act. Consumer racial profiling is the practice of providing differential treatment and service to racialized groups the in marketplace. When they shop for goods and services, people are often treated unequally because of their race, while they have the right to freely participate in society. In performing the research for this study, we heard from many first-­‐voice participants about the experiences they had while shopping. In some instances, racialized individuals reported being subjected to various humiliating experiences by staff or security personnel. These experiences included being wrongfully detained, ignored, searched, followed, refused services, given slow service, targeted for offensive language, removed from a store, and questioned about their ability to afford a product. Racialized people experienced all these incidents because they were viewed with suspicion.
