Really interesting presentation by our leader @lmisene on ‘Persistent Inequities in Parasport event legacies’ looking deeply into theories of ableism and their association with event leveraging perspectives @EventRights @projectecho2020

Tired of waiting on #HockeyCanada, the CDN Women's Para Hockey Team (@CSHWT) penned an open letter to corporate Canada, asking for $1-M in support in a campaign called #SticksIn, representing the diversity of hockey in Canada.
@CanadianTire stepped up.

“Participated” in convocation @WesternU today to receive my doctorate. One of the most dishearteningly inaccessible experiences I’ve had in a long time. (The broken elevator wasn’t even the worst of it.)
Theechoproject.org retweeted
If @WesternU is really committed to barrier free access, how is that a graduating PhD shows up for convocation to find elevators not working, closed doors and a stage not set up for equal access?? Not being part of procession and not connecting with peers is equal access?

And we have learned a lot in our research here @birminghamcg22 about this model!!#parasport @projectecho2020
What differentiates the #CommonwealthGames from other multi-sport events (like the Olympics) is that competitions for athletes and para-athletes take place in tandem rather than a month apart.
