Mike WI DON'T WANT SELF DRIVING CARS!!!!
✔️ I want boring things like public transit that comes so regularly I don't need to check a schedule.
✔️ I want fast passenger rail so accessible and easy it's preferable to suffering airports.
✔️ I want cities that aren't built around cars-as-default
✔️ I want the country to own it.
And while I am here - #Geography at #universityOfWinnipeg deserves a big #ShoutOut and #ThankYou for never making me feel less-than, and for asking what it can do the enable me to do my job.
#accomodation requests are not people trying to gain the system. They are people working really hard to function in the workplace. They should not be treated with hostility.
Many of the accomodation requests I find myself making are really just... good practice. Why can't you have access to the full application in one pdf or word document? It makes it easier to copy and paste over into the portal.
Today is #InternationalDayofPersonsWithDisabilities. Let's take a hot minute to think about what a #BarrierFree #Winnipeg might look like. #sidewalkClearing b4 roads. Not having to use a #FreightElevator to enter a bar. Not having to think about how to enter a bar. Or a condo. #HavingAccessToPublicTransportation on the same schedule as everyone else. #LetsDream and then make it #Reality
If your presentation is called #Equity and #Inclusion #Engagement (Well, Inclusive and Equitable Engagement- but I think the other words are more common hashtags) I expect to hear about what you are doing to engage #EquityDeserving person & groups, before, and in addition to your #HardToReach stakeholders.
How do I find people working in #EnvironmentalPolicy and #EnvironmentalLaw ? And there has to be more thing related to #ImpactAssessment or #EnvironmentalAssessment #EnvironmentalImpactAssessment...
By way of #introduction - I am a researcher with interests in #ImpactAssessment, specializing in #PublicEngagement, #FollowUp & #Multi jurisdictional practices. I study #Energy & #Mining. I work with several #NotForProfits. I tend to post about opportunities to #HaveYourSay in #Manitoba & #Canada. And sometimes #MultipleSclerosis- which I have.
