Two of my most favourite disability focused organizations are doing a collab for #InternationalGuideDogDay. 🐶🧑🏾🦯🦮 As somebody with congenital vision loss, I participated with CNIB’s #ComeToWork program and worked with Gateway Association Alberta when I was learning about disability employment services at large (thank you Gene Lachica and Jae Lee). I learned a lot from them and also found Gateway to Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Hub Alberta as an indispensable information resource when I was helping build the employment services program for newcomers, immigrants, and refugees with disabilities at the Centre for Newcomers. Working as a person with disabilities, and with people with disabilities - in the frontline - and not mainly as an academic researcher - taught me so much about how #disabilitypolicy gets operatizonalized on the ground. It is complex and there’s definitely a lot of room for continuous improvement. There’s the huge funding cuts in the immigrant and refugee settlement sector, the lack of a sustainable health human resource pipeline in the disability sector, and the sheer difficulty of persuading employers to see the gifts and geniuses - and most of all resilience - of people facing #intersectional barriers. And then there’s how government funded programs are designed with metrics and KPI’s that do not reflect the amount of work performed by job developers, career practitioners and employer relations specialists - required to position a candidate possessing marginalized intersectional identities in the job market. Have you tried to look for a job lately? I want to challlenge decisionmakers, policymakers, program and policy analysts to sit in one of the workshops designed for this clientele and help them find a job within 90 days; and witness the amount of expertise on #crossculturalcommunication, #accessibility and #disability required on top of reporting demands - and the emotional labour demanded from frontline staff. And then - decide if it’s reasonable to put a KPI of 12 job placements a month (per job developer staff) for the sub-population, which includes introducing them individually to employers who have to be educated about #accommodations and our legal rights as people with disabilities. #Accessibility looks great as a slogan in paper, but very messy in reality. This last few of years brought me back to the “field” where I used my #ethnographic sensibility and use my #positionality as somebody who is racialized and disabled to make sense of how we can build sustainable programs co-designed with and for us. I’m honestly still reflecting and figuring things out, so if you have any suggestions or insights, let me know? But the work of organizations like Gateway Association Alberta and CNIB have guided me through this process. So if you have a chance - join Robert Fenton in this event! #nothingwithoutus

Let's explore how HOAs can develop policies that are beneficial to pet owners and non-pet owners alike. https://lnkd.in/eG9UFwHr

I have avoided bringing a pet into their home due to fears of loss or concerns about restricting their freedom. Losing a pet is never easy, and finding a meaningful way to honor their memory can be a comforting experience. For those who cherish an eco-friendly approach, Pet Reefs by Memorial Reefs International offers a unique solution. Pet Reefs turns a pet's cremated remains into " Reef Balls " artificial reef structures." These are crafted from concrete with a pH balance that matches the ocean and is placed in coastal areas. Over time, they attract coral polyps and provide homes for marine creatures. This not only creates a lasting tribute but also supports marine ecosystems. Owners receive photos and GPS coordinates of their pet’s memorial, offering a way to visit and find solace. Eternal Reefs, Inc. in Florida also creates reef structures from both human and pet remains. Have you ever considered an eco-friendly memorial for a pet or loved one? Source: Garden & Health
