Empower U: Learn to Access Your Disability Rights Training on Canadian Human Rights, the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) and its Optional Protocol (OP) training aims to increase awareness of how to address discrimination using more familiar Canadian human rights laws such as Human Rights Codes and the newer international Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD). This is training for persons with disabilities by persons with disabilities. The training is part of a project funded by Employment and Social Development Canada and implemented by the Council of Canadians with Disabilities (CCD) in collaboration with Canadian Multicultural Disability Centre Inc. (CMDCI), Citizens With Disabilities – Ontario (CWDO), Manitoba League of Persons with Disabilities (MLPD) and National Educational Association of Disabled Students (NEADS). Read more.

Dear Friend:
I'm writing to ask you to take 15 minutes out of your schedule this week to help us get an important Bill passed in Parliament that would help solve homelessness in Canada. It has just been confirmed that Bill C-400 will be debated at 5:30 p.m.. on Wednesday February 13th and the vote will be held on Wednesday February 27th.
As described in the C-400 backgrounder this Bill would ensure that the Federal Government assumes a leadership role in developing a strategy to address the crisis of homelessness in Canada. The Bill is supported by all three opposition parties, but the Conservatives have not agreed to support it. If just 13 Conservatives vote for the Bill on February 27th, the Bill will be sent to a House of Commons Committee, where it can be further debated.
I'm asking if you could take 15 minutes to contact your MP and urge their support of Bill C-400.
Thanks for your support!
Tony Dolan
