About Us — Our Beliefs

We believe:

• Citizenship involves belonging, rights, responsibilities, relationships and contributions.

• People with disabilities have both the capacity and responsibility to exercise their citizenship.

• People with disabilities have unique and critical contributions to make to the health and well being of our communities.

• Focusing on disability and handicap overshadows an individual’s gifts, skills and talents.

• Our communities and neighbourhoods are inherently resilient and hospitable.

• Ensuring the active presence of people with disabilities in community life benefits families, neighbourhoods and communities.
