December 3, 2009: Opening Doors Community Consultation - Winnipeg

Location: Winnipeg Convention Centre Main Floor

Manitoba's Disabilities Issues Office (DIO) is in the process of developing a new provincial disability strategy. The discussion paper Opening Doors: Manitoba's Commitment to Persons with Disabilities, was announced on June 4, 2009, and will serve as a basis for the new strategy. The strategy highlights ten key thematic areas for persons with disabilities, as well as outlining key accomplishments, commitments from the 2009/10 budget year and future directions.

The purpose of the discussion paper is to offer an opportunity for disability organizations and affected members of the public to provide their perspective on the proposed future directions. Briefs and comments on the document are welcome and can be made via the above website or by contacting the DIO by phone or e-mail. As a further component of the consultation process, the DIO is planning a thematic expert discussion Opening Doors community consultation in Winnipeg.

We would like to invite you and your organizations or agencies to participate in the Opening Doors community consultations planned in Winnipeg.
