<div>Hi, folks,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The disability advocacy community was rocked by the announcement of the death of David Onley this past week. (I wasn't really in a position here in the hospital to make this prayer.). David Onley started his public as the wheelchair bound weather announcer for City-TV. Those of you from Toronto may remember him. He continued working as a journalist for many years and was appointed the Lieutenant-Governor of Ontario in 2007. In later years he used a small electriv scooter to get around - he was able to drive a van that accommodated his disability and his scooter. He made a major contribution to disabiity advocacy most recently in the commissioned report he wrote for the Ontario government on the implementation of the Accessibility for Ontarians With Disabilities Act. (Otherwise known as the AODA.) And, he advocated for job opportunities and more accessible housing, too. (Most disabled people of working age in this country are unemployed and live in deep poverty,)</div>
<div> </div>
<div>So, for me and my friends and fellow advocaates, please say a prayer of thanksgiving for David Onley's life and work.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Peace, Pat</div>
