No need to wade through all sorts of news just to see if there is anything about us in Canada. We provide current summaries of Canadian disability news only.
And, just like a national blog, you can comment on any news item listed for immediate publication. Or, for that matter, add your own news story! Any news item that affects Canadians with a disability or other special needs qualifies.
