Teaching Braille in PE – PHE America

Each school year, I teach a unit called “Abilities Awareness”. Making students aware of each other’s different abilities helps us become better citizens and leads to a more positive and inclusive school climate. This awareness leads to empathy and a deeper understanding of our peers’ individual learning needs resulting in a sense of belonging, community, and value in our school community. This unit is also an opportunity to address misconceptions surrounding different disabilities. In the words of Winston Churchill, “Diversity is the one true thing we all have in common. Celebrate it every day.” Sight Reading BrailleThis year, I wanted…

Ford’s health-care risk cuts the lives of society’s most vulnerable

It was a program of the Health Network for Uninsured Clients, in a report released last week,…

Ontario blast doctors province for ending health care for uninsured residents

Ontario doctors and the organization representing them blasted the provincial government on Saturday for its quietly unveiled plans to end a program that provides health-care services for people without health insurance.

The Ministry of Health later confirmed the decision and end date. OMA PresidentDr. Rose Zacharias said her organization, which represents the province’s doctors, is “extremely concerned” about the…
