On accessibility, Ontario needs less secrecy, more action

LUCAS OLENIUK, Toronto Star Editorial, August 7, 2017
Disability advocate David Lepofsky has worked tirelessly since the McGuinty Liberals passed the landmark Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act in 2005, holding the government to account as it moves toward its goal of a fully accessible Ontario by 2025. David Lepofsky just wants to make sure the province is doing what it promised to do. Too often, however, what he has found is failure – and too often the province has tried to keep him from discovering the frequently disappointing truth. The government should stop fighting disability advocates and start working alongside them.
