CCD Chairperson's Update - September 2014
New Initiative
The Centre for Research on Work Disability Work Policy awarded CCD a seed grant in response to a project proposal titled Willing But Unable: A Population in Waiting. The project will develop a profile of people with disabilities that will provide the basis for an in-depth review of federal/provincial and territorial income support programs that offer employment-related programs to identify the effective practices.

Humanity evolving on human rights
By Jim Derksen
I became aware, at a very young age, of the low expectations people generally had for me -- not to ever be employed or support myself, not to have political agency, not to ever enjoy physical intimacy, marry or have children. As a person using a wheelchair since I was six years old in 1953, I was undervalued and not considered able to have the same rights as non-disabled persons.
The Journey of My Experiences with the Council of Canadians with Disabilities
(In this piece, Huma Gulrez, guest blogger, shares a personal perspective on volunteering with CCD during the summer of 2014. CCD is a community resource, where students have the opportunity to learn first-hand about disability rights.)
