Over 3 million Canadians being left out in the cold

When it comes to lending assistance to other countries in crisis, Canada
should be given an A plus but when it comes to recognizing, legitimizing,
and protecting the rights of over 3 million Canadians, Canada should only be
given an F minus for its efforts.

There are over 3 million print disabled - blind, partially sighted, and
deaf/blind Canadians who have great difficulty accessing government
websites, requesting information, and completing online forms and job
applications. They have to wait for months on end if they request
information to be sent to them in Braille, large print, and on CD. They
have very limited access to vital information such as: Health, CPP, old age
security, social welfare benefits, programs on funding and financial
assistance, and safety and public security. The government has failed to
honour its obligations under the Canadian Charter of Rights despite having
all of the expertise and resources at their disposal.

It is time for us to demand what is rightfully ours! Our right to
information.
Please support us in our efforts!
On September 21 to 23, Donna Jodhan who is the second vice president of the
Alliance for Equality of Blind Canadians will be attending Federal Court
along with her team of lawyers and accessibility experts as part of a
charter challenge to force the Canadian government to honour their
obligations under the Canadian Charter of Rights.
Time: 9:30 am
Location: 180 Queen Street West, Toronto.
If you are unable to attend court on any of these three days then you can
lend your voice by writing to the Honourable Rob Nicholson who is the
minister of Justice and Attorney General.
His email is nichor@parl.gc.ca.
Tell him that you are demanding that his government take immediate steps to
recognize, legitimize, and protect the rights of the over 3 million
Canadians who are print disabled - blind, partially sighted, and deaf/blind.
