Hi All,
As some of you know, I Moderate a blog for people with disabilities in Ontario, called COAAC, the Coalition of Acessibility Advisory Committees. If you have any members who have disabilities and would like to participte in this blog please let them know I will welcome them with open arms. My blog is now in crisis because I banned a member who was trying to cause trouble for me, by promoting descrimination among people with disabilities because of financial limitations. He in my opinion is a nasty piece of work. What's taking place here Ontario is that the Municipalities are starting to exclude people who are living with disabilities and on low incomes from living in certain areas because they are poor.There is much more going on too that is really bad and targeted towards this group and it is very unfair!. This guy has been very nasty with his comments and I do not want to reinstate him, they descriminate against the people with disabilities who are poor, in my opinion.
What I am asking is for your help, to join and help me get more members who have commonsense, and who care about human rights. If you could also send this out to your friends and family I'd appreciate it. You can join the blog without using your real name or identity. Once again I really need your help! Below is how to subscribe, I love you all and I really need your help.

The COAAC email list website is at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/coaac/, you can also subscribe there.
The COAAC is a province-wide, not-for-profit, non-governmental organization comprised of Accessibility Advisory Committees (AACs) in more than 50 locations, and includes related organizations and interested individuals who are also committed to serving and meeting the needs of persons with disabilities.
The Coalition has been established to provide a connection between the AACs, and to share experiences, achievements and problem solving. It also allows for the development of a consensus on matters of primary concern and the opportunity to reflect to the legislators what is really required at the grass roots level to serve and meet the needs of persons with disabilities. The Coalition and its eNewsletter are, in other words, a clearinghouse and an instrument for action.
Thank you,
Susan Brunet
Moderator of the COAAC Forum
