Lancement national du CRPIP - Conférenciers principaux
S'exprimer afin de promouvoir l'inclusion

CRWDP’s  national launch, held at the McMaster Health Forum on February 4, 2014, had three renowned speakers talk about the importance of promoting inclusion. The Honourable David C. Onley, the Lieutenant Governor of Ontario, gave the opening keynote at the event. The closing keynote was given by Mike Bradley, the Mayor of Sarnia and a longstanding advocate for accessibility. The  launch event also included a keynote by the Honourable Mike Lake, a Member of Parliament for Edmonton-Mill Woods–Beaumont. MP Lake spoke about the importance of  providing support for school-to-work transitions of youth and young adults with disabilities. He presented a video of his son Jaden Lake, who has autism, that featured Jaden’s performance in a play put on by his highschool. The video can be seen at http://crwdp.ca/bye-bye-birdie.
