"I think these apartments are a good opportunity for people with disabilities to live more independently, to be more social, and be a part of things." - Warren Tompkins, L'Arche Connects pilot program @CBCTheNational cbc.ca/player/play/224662739…

“The indignity of it all is just overwhelming. The question should be: Why is a disabled person considering [MAID] simply on the basis that they can’t get the support services they need?” #AidNotMAiD #EndDisabilityPoverty thenation.com/article/societ… thenation.com/article/societ…

Working-age persons with disabilities are three times more likely to live in poverty than persons without disabilities. The Canada Disability Benefit will fill the gap in our social safety net for persons with disabilities between the Canada Child Benefit and OAS/GIS.

In June, L’Arche enjoyed inclusion both globally and locally: communities in 37 countries met up online with friends to celebrate that life goes better when it’s shared, fun and diverse: with and without a disability. The L’Arche invitation remains open! #larche #inclusion

Nick is a campaigner for L'Arche who just attended the @UN Conference. He shares "When I was young, and growing up, I was bullied because of my disability. But now I can use that voice, from the child that I was, to be heard, louder and louder." news.un.org/en/story/2023/06…
