Just another reminder that a series of community meetings* start this week across the Province. A series of community meetings that persons with disabilities, their family members and their friends need to attend.
The meetings follow the government's release of the long awaited Continuing Care/Services for Persons with Disabilities discussion paper, "Putting People First - Working Together to Support Independence and Dignity".Let's admit it. We're all pretty good at
But the question in my mind is "Will we be just as committed to doing our part to find a solution?".
Criticism is easy; finding solutions is often much more difficult.
So here's your chance, read the discussion paper (which, honestly, doesn't tell really tell those who live this day in and day out anything we didn't already know but at least it acknowledges the problem and appears to want to move forward) and come out to a meeting in your area*.
Bring your spouse, your children, your friends. But, most importantly, bring your self.
As they say - you're either part of the problem or part of the solution. Which will you be?
* A meeting in Digby has now been added.
