Abilities Manitoba and Barrier-Free Manitoba have asked each of the NDP leadership candidates to provide clear statements of their commitment on three key disability and accessibility issues.
There is a lot riding on these commitments. The candidate selected at the NDP Convention on March 8, 2015 will lead the government during the last year of its mandate. The leader will also play a major role in developing the NDP's platform for the next provincial election currently scheduled for April 2016. Having those seeking election or re-election commit to real progress on disability issues will help ensure that these issues finally receive the attention that is so long overdue.
We invite you to join in asking the leadership candidates to clarify their positions on these critically important issues.
Help us in working for a better future of the 200,000 Manitobans with disabilities, their families and their communities.
Please act now
