An Accessible Nova Scotia by 2030

On the very first episode of Accessibility Ally, your host Corrie Melanson sits down with guest, Paul Tingley. Paul is a Business ACCESS-Ability Officer with the Government of Nova Scotia, responsible for coordinating programs, and services, and collaborating on policies that support recreation in Nova Scotia. Corrie and Paul have an amazing discussion on the six standards that approach the legislature that aims to make Nova Scotia fully accessible by 2030, and what that may mean for people living in the province. The two also dive into the presence of disability awareness and allyship in Nova Scotia, and the intersectionality among the EDIA equity-seeking groups.
