International Day of Persons with Disabilities

The Green Party of Alberta would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge those with disabilities and their desire to have full and safe access to all aspects of our society. I would also like to add that at this point in our civilizations history, the need to label a human being must come to an end. It is the diversity of human experiences that can help us achieve our highest goals.

But in all aspects of our choices, we must always endeavor to include those with disabilities. It was very heartening to see the new electronic voting system being used in the upcoming by-election allowing for those with disabilities to be able to vote in privacy, a right that we all expect.
