Ontario is falling short on breaking down barriers

The Star, Star Editorial Board, May 27, 2019
An early childhood educator who is uniquely qualified to work in a preschool for disabled children couldn’t get the job because the building isn’t fully accessible for wheelchairs. Surely this is just what former Ontario lieutenant-governor David Onley meant when he wrote of the soul-crushing barriers that people with disabilities face in their daily lives. Ashleigh Judge, a wheelchair user with cerebral palsy, has worked incredibly hard to make her way in a world that is clearly not designed for her, and the Ontario government has failed her by not moving quickly enough or thoroughly enough to change that, as it is required by law to do.
