“For persons with a disability… by persons with a disability”.
CILT is a consumer-controlled, community-based resource organization. We help people with disabilities to learn Independent Living skills and integrate into the community. (Please note: CILT is a resource agency and does not do any political, systemic or group advocacy!) CILT operates on the philosophy of the Independent Living movement which was developed in response to traditional rehabilitation services models. CILT’s aim is to develop and implement dignified social services that empower individuals rather than create dependencies. We encourage people with disabilities to take control of their own lives by exercising their right to examine options, make choices, take risks and even make mistakes.
CILT is unique in that a majority of Board and staff positions must be held by persons with a disability, thus ensuring that the service is directed and controlled by the consumer.

Hi, Tracy my name is Michelle and first of all, I would like to tell you how brave you are to tell your story and I completely agree with you that all new affordable housing should be built with accessible units. I work part-time and am on a disability would, because otherwise. I have to try and work part-time because my pension alone won't cover the cost of rent bills and groceries. So I like and care very much about your story and I am going to share it so people will know what really goes on, thank you so much Tracy and I will say a special prayer for you, love!
very sad case despecable.
despicable
This is probably over 30 years old, why don't they have that on every stop light? With all the technology.
We do have that at most crosswalks in Canada.
Bravo!
Very Nice to see this video
Great ERDCO and partners
I like this anything that can help the blind .😀
Is there a link to the questionnaire here?
This channel should be called CLIT !
My wife won gold
I am sorry to read this news! I have fond memories of working with Sandra and I thank her for all she did and, through her memory, will continue to do to promote the rights of people with disabilities

Don't forget Professor X! He's my hero
and daredevil
But Forest Gumbo was in the military
no it’s not
As someone who has Cerebral Palsy and wanted to enlist in the Army and go 75th Ranger Regiment it just wouldn't be safe for the other members of a combat unit the only thing I could see disabled people doing in the military would be the RPA community but even then only not every disabled person could join
But in her case, she had many orthopaedic surgeries for which she couldn’t receive pain medication. I do believe that in her case, she was suffering from frequent post operative pain.
orthopedic
Thanks
