#moreaccessible

Twitter / Search - #moreaccessible

The hope of using the #moreaccessible hash tag is to help to try and bring together everyone to talk about accessibility issues, whether it be physical barriers or challenging conventional ideas. It can be used to share news stories related accessibility, interesting ideas and thoughts and also messages about accessibility.
The great movements of the past all got going when individuals all came together to fight for a common cause. They might have all been trying to reach different goals in that fight, but they realized that they would get further by fighting together. As has been shown by these great movements, when you work collectively, massive change can happen.
The community is fractured with everybody having their own thoughts and beliefs. And everybody has their own labels and agendas. But by putting all of it together, we create one voice, which will tell the world that we want it to be #moreaccessible.

Faulty Thinking | Our Daily Bread

Faulty Thinking | Our Daily Bread: Four people—a pilot, a professor, a pastor, and a hiker—were flying in a small plane when the engines died. The pilot said, “There are only three parachutes. Since this is my plane, I’m taking one of them.” He put it on and jumped out. The professor said, “I’m brilliant and the world needs me, so I’m taking a parachute,” and he jumped out.

Then the pastor told the hiker, “I don’t want to be selfish, so you take the last parachute.” The hiker replied, “There are still two left, so we can each have one. The professor jumped out with my backpack instead of the parachute!” Though the professor thought he would land safely, his assurance was based on faulty thinking.

People Pave the Way at Yonge & Eglinton — Jane's Walk

People Pave the Way at Yonge & Eglinton — Jane's Walk

Toronto Area Walks:

People Pave the Way at Yonge & Eglinton

Guided by Anne Johnston Health Station


Date
Saturday, May 5, 2012
Start Time
11:59 am
Est. Duration
2 hours
People Pave the Way at Yonge & Eglinton What does accessibility mean to you?  It’s more than just curb cuts and ramps.  The sidewalk width and grade, or shop entrance and aisle widths can make a huge difference. Is a bathroom really accessible if it fits a wheelchair yet has no automatic door opener?  Good lighting, easily defined steps, and smooth pavements all add to how easily and safely a person moves around their neighbourhood.


The Anne Johnston Health Station will lead an accessibility walk in the Yonge & Eglinton area.  Through sharing their personal stories, both long-time residents and newcomers to the community will introduce walkers to who Anne Johnston was and why the Health Station is named after her, as well as provide a history of the neighbourhood.  In addition, drawing on Jane Jacobs’ principles, they will outline how the neighbourhood has seen changes in accessibility over the years, and draw attention to the current state and future goals of accessibility and people friendliness in the community.

BLOORED LIFE / LIFE BLOORED [hq]

BLOORED LIFE / LIFE BLOORED [hq] - YouTube

BLOORED LIFE / LIFE BLOORED [hq] - YouTube: Life Bloored, I Duct taped a camera to my electric wheelchair, a very fast drive - My name is Adam Cohoon I am 24 years old. I moved to Toronto around five years ago. I live on Bloor Street in the Annex. I was born with cerebral palsy. I use an electric wheelchair to get around the city.

My short video is a sped up trip of my favourite strolling route through my neighbourhood. The route goes from my apartment building along Bloor to Bathurst then back along the other side of Bloor Street. All at an accelerated speed to turn a half an hour journey into a video of just a few minutes.

The video captures the route from my view I enjoy this route but the neighbourhood is not totally wheelchair accessible there some shops that has steps in order to get into them. Some of the curbs in the neighbourhood are steep too.

The video is also about how this neighbourhood has really influenced my love of the arts, whether it is visual, music, film or video. I have really come to enjoy them. I am constantly exposed to them right in my area and just grew to really appreciate them.

In the video I also add my sense of humour. Throughout - arcohoon@hotmail.com
