Joy and celebration are the two primary emotions felt today by many Canadians with disabilities as the Government of Canada ratifies the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) at the United Nations. Canada today pledged to be governed by the CRPD, the newest international human rights treaty which boldly articulates a human rights framework for addressing the exclusion and lack of access people with disabilities have encountered in Canada and in all societies.

Un groupe de personnes handicapées interpelle le Canada pour un « fardeau excessif » de 5 259 $

Alléguant que les 5 259 $ requis pour la scolarisation de Rachel Bardagne constitueraient un fardeau excessif pour le Canada, des agents de l’immigration ont ordonné à la famille de quitter Montréal et d’abandonner l’entreprise et la vie qu’ils sont en train de se bâtir dans leur pays d’adoption.

Chaque jour, un nouveau défi

Everyday A New Issue

This month at CCD we have seen it all, ranging from a positive decision by the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal in the Hughes case where CCD had Interested Party status to faxed hate mail as a result of our media work on the Barlagne case. These two very disparate responses to CCD's initiatives, demonstrate the critical importance of the work that our organizations undertake in support of an inclusive and accessible Canada.
