ok, I am so sick and tired of seeing this commercial. It's for hiring the disabled and it's brought to you by "Canada's Private Braodcasters". I'm sure you've seen this commercial. First person the camera pans is Pascal Rebreau, a chef who uses a walker. Next is Evelyne Gounetenzi, a project manager who is deaf. Next is Luca "Lazy legs" Patuelli who is a B-Boy, on crutches and last you see

For the past few years I have been interested in going to Canada Blooms. I'm an avid balcony gardener from flowers to veggies. Problem is, Canada Blooms not only has no discount for the disabled (this year they have a whole $2 discount for seniors) but again not all the displays are accessible! So, disabled pay the same as anyone else however we can't participate in it all. Here is the letter

Just a quickie to let anyone reading this know I'm on twitter. Going to try to keep it up and post occasionally there too. It's just finding the time :-) http://www.twitter.com/torontomobility

Troid, the person who emailed me the post under this is right. On all accounts. I can't tell you how many times I've seen major reno's being done with hopes that they take the few thousand it takes to put in a disabled door and then have my hopes dashed. Concerning the dumping of snow in disabled parking spots..... to me it's the same as the City of Toronto shoving snow on the ramps. These

I received this email and I've decided to place it on here because it's important. Here it is:January 29, 2009 I tried to park at the one disabled parking spot at the Royal York/Bloor Rogers Video store. Their snow removal contractor thought it was a good idea to place the snow into the ONE disabled parking spot; Rogers had obviously no issue with this. In February 2009 I went to the Don Mills/

Well, someone contacted me via email asking me to set up on twitter so I did. So you can follow me at http://www.twitter.com/torontomobility Now, this is no promise to continue to write blurbs and such as I'm pretty busy these days however I'll try. In the meantime, I decided to check this out again and see what's new. Not much. lol Possibly I should try to get this blog out more. Seems I

Why..... why is it if I call for a taxi and walk into it using my cane and go 8 blocks it's $7.00 or so........ but if I call the same company and tell them I'm in a scooter, they send a van (which they at times have sent for a 'walking person' call - I have had vans show up and pick me up when I was walking with my cane) and it costs me a flat fee of $30.00 to go the same distance??????All

hmmmmm I'm seriously wondering how long this is going to take but I'm not ready to throw in the towel yet. Nothing from Metro Police yet!! And I wrote my City Councillor Pam McConnell and according to her she's passed it along to the Chief of Police too. Seems he ignores her as well. Late last week I emailed her again to let her know I've still heard nothing. She'll get a regular weekly

Well it's Saturday and I'm still waiting. On Friday I spoke to my brother who has some law experience considering the job he's in and experience in things like this and he recommened that I call the Community Centre Supervisor back and ask him to go to the company that makes the equipment he uses to see if there was any way they could access deeper into the computer and come up with the video

I originally put this one on my personal blog on June 22nd, 2006I've been robbed twice in a week. Once by a low life, sorry excuse for a human being that preys on the disabled to rob and a second time by Toronto Metro Police.....Here is my story.....I am a 48 year old disabled woman that does a lot of volunteer work for my community. On Wednesday June 14th, 2006 I was out about 7:00 pm to go and

I originally blogged this on my person blog on June 15th, 2006.I don't get it, I just don't get today's society. I do a lot of volunteer work and right now my hands are full with community events. So this evening (Wed.) I was going around floor to floor in our building with 2 different flyers per floor for 2 different upcoming events. There's 30 floors in this building plus I had more to put out

It's later in the evening and I'm putzing around here. Decided to update the look of the blog. I like this one. Winter is here again.. 2006 is coming in like a lamb though so I'm wondering what's going to happen in February. While you're here, check out the main site Toronto Mobility and check out what The Bay @ Yonge & Bloor has done for the disabled and check out the updated "outstanding

Well folks, it's winter in Ontario. Oh joy, oh joy. I would like to challenge every politician on Parliament Hill to get in my scooter and try to navigate the City of Toronto. Especially after a snowstorm and they've shoved all the snow from the streets so the cars can get through onto the sidewalks and the ramps!!!
