We are very pleased to announce that on Wednesday, September 7th at 7pm, Dr. Jeffrey Preston, Associate Professor and Chair of the Department of Disability Studies at King's University College will give the first on Twitter.

Dr. Preston's lecture, "Discourses on Disability, Race and Masculinity in the Wheelchair Drake Meme," comes from a paper he published in CJDS in 2021.

Dr. Preston will be available for questions about the lecture live as well as asynchronously in the days that follow.

If you cannot make the event, we will be posting a "rolled up" version of the lecture within a few days. We also intend to publish it in a future issue of CJDS.

We are very excited to offer an academic lecture in this modality--which, by nature, is free for all attendees--and to try something new.

We hope you can join us!

Changing One’s Outlook: The Place of Disability in Society

Carly Fox, NEADS' Communications and Partnerships Director, is a star! We're so proud of her!

According to a 2017 Statistics Canada survey, one out of every five (22%) Canadians 15 years of age and over had one or more disabilities. However, in all areas of our society, there is a lack of accessibility and appropriate accommodations for disabled persons. Some leaders, like student Carly Fox,...

See Different program relaunch!

Today is International Youth Day, a day to bring youth issues to the forefront of the international community and highlight the potential of youth as valuable partners in the global society.

Young people are powerful leaders of change. Today’s youth have the potential to make a positive and long-lasting impact on the world. International Youth Day provides an opportunity to acknowledge the passion, drive, creativity, and commitment young people have demonstrated to a variety of global issues and highlights the need for young people to have allies to ensure their voices are heard.

With that in mind, CCDI is thrilled to announce the re-launch of its See Different program, an initiative that offers high school and university students, aged 16-24, the opportunity to become trained and certified as emerging leaders of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), free of charge. As students move through the program, they will be introduced to the fundamentals of DEI, build awareness of different dimension of diversity, and develop a deeper understanding of the topics of bias, equity, and allyship, culminating in the creation and implementation of a project that will help them enact change in their own communities and schools.

Open house information sessions about the program will take place in the coming weeks, and the program’s first course will be delivered in late September.

Learn more about CCDI’s See Different program by visiting https://ccdi.ca/campaigns/see-different/.

If you have any questions or would like more information about the program, please contact [email protected].

Regards,

The CCDI Team

Government of Canada announces improved financial supports for students with disabilities

Government of Canada announces improved financial supports for students with disabilities

OTTAWA, ON, Aug. 2, 2022 /CNW/ - A post-secondary education, such as a trade school, college, polytechnic or university, is essential to the future career and long-term success to which students, including students with disabilities, aspire. That is why the Government of Canada continues to improve supports under the Canada Student Financial Assistance Program (CSFA Program) for students with disabilities.

Today, the Minister of Employment, Workforce Development and Disability Inclusion, Carla Qualtrough, announced new measures under the CSFA Program. Post-secondary financial supports became more accessible as of August 1, 2022, with the Government extending disability supports under the CSFA Program to include those with a persistent or prolonged disability. Additionally, the Government has increased flexibility for documentation that can be accepted when applying for CSFA Program disability supports.

These changes align with the Government of Canada's implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development adopted by the United Nations to help build stronger, safer and more inclusive communities that leave no one behind. In particular, the changes support Canada's commitment to inclusive and equitable quality education and lifelong learning opportunities for all, to help achieve Sustainable Development Goal 4: Quality Education.

Quotes

"An essential step to creating a more disability-inclusive Canada is re-evaluating government supports and services to ensure they are considering the needs of persons with disabilities. That's why we are expanding student financial supports, so more students with disabilities can access the education they deserve, and the opportunities that come with it."
– Minister of Employment, Workforce Development and Disability Inclusion, Carla Qualtrough

"We applaud this significant announcement by the Government of Canada and Minister Qualtrough to provide financial assistance to thousands more students each year who have persistent and prolonged disabilities. This will go a long way toward making college and university education more affordable and accessible for students who often have extra costs and challenges because of their disabilities. Access to grants for post-secondary study is particularly important to the students we represent as Canada's organization of disabled students and graduates with disabilities. We really appreciate that our voices were listened to when the Government consulted to modify and improve the Canada Student Financial Assistance Program. Talented, passionate and credentialed disabled persons deserve full inclusion and participation in higher education and the employment market."
– Coordinator of the National Educational Association of Disabled Students, Frank Smith

"Expanding the Canada Student Financial Assistance Program to include students with persistent or prolonged disabilities is an important step in improving equitable access to post-secondary education across Canada. Recognizing the lived experiences of students with disabilities is key to ensuring that post-secondary education is accessible, affordable, innovative, and of the highest quality."
– Chair of the Board for the Canadian Alliance of Student Associations (CASA) and Vice President External of the University of Alberta Students' Union, Christian Fotang

Quick Facts

The 2017 Canadian Survey on Disability found that one in five Canadians aged 15 and over—or approximately 6.2 million people—report as having a disability.

An estimated 40,000 recipients whose disabilities are persistent or prolonged will benefit each year from this expanded disability support from the CSFA Program.

Eligible students with a disability, now including persistent or prolonged disabilities, could have access to up to $24,000 in grants, in-study supports, and specialized repayment assistance on their loans.

Quebec, the Northwest Territories and Nunavut do not participate in the CSFA Program. They receive alternative payments from the Government of Canada to administer their own student financial assistance measures.

The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development is a 15-year global framework adopted by Canada and all other 192 United Nations Member States in 2015.

Moving Forward Together: Canada's 2030 Agenda National Strategy, released in February 2021, promotes a whole-of-society approach to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. It builds on the 30 actions and 5 core principles outlined in Towards Canada's 2030 Agenda National Strategy, with feedback from in-person and online consultations and outreach across Canada.

Congratulations to Alina Heck, Recipient of the 2021 Canada Post Award!

"It is difficult to put this into just a few sentences... I am incredibly grateful to be receiving this award. This scholarship provides security and assurance that I will be able to continue the Doctor of Medicine program, but it will also allow me to expand community initiatives I am passionate about. I would like to dedicate a portion of the funds to my work as a member of the Canadian Association of Physicians with Disabilities; with the help of two community partners and a physician with disabilities, I am currently creating an educational module examining Canadian policies (both health policies and policies that indirectly impact health and wellbeing) and how they impact persons with disabilities. The module will be available for use to medical schools, students, and physicians across Canada and will aim to provide education on how physicians can best support their patients with accessibility needs, as well as highlight areas for improvement and unintended consequences of such policies." - Alina Heck
