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 friends and partners of TVAC,
The ultimate goal of our RIGHT THE WRONG national campaign is to ensure that the Canadian born Thalidomide survivors can age with dignity. YOUR VOICE, YOUR PARTICIPATION can make a difference!
Please get involved by "liking" the Facebook page - but also by going to the website www.rightthewrong.ca and signing the petition and using our easy "email your MP" form. You can also help by spreading the word. Tell your friends and family - every signature, email, tweet and post is important.
PLEASE take a moment to watch our awareness video on the state of crisis of Canadian thalidomide survivors at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F5CuEtFULlU .TVAC wishes to thank Judith, Bernadette and her father, Brigitte, Aline and Josée for their overwhelming testimonies. We also take this opportunity to highlight the courage of all thalidomide survivors!
For more information, please do not hesitate to communicate with me.
Thank you for your time and consideration!
