Special Broadcast Episode May 16, 2019

Access Day 2019 - CRCR 90.5FM

9:59am - 10:56am

The program features two discussions, originally broadcast on People With Disabilities Speak Out on CFCR 90.5FM (Saskatoon Community Radio). The first is with Cheryl, a person who has a severe physical disability (Spina Bifida). Cheryl talks about her experience when trying to utilize a service which is provided with government funding. The second discussion is with Kara Fagnou, Director of Building Standards with the City of Saskatoon’s Engineering Department who talks about the building codes for accessibility in the city.

These two discussions will help the listeners to see that Access Day should be every day, not just on one day. Access should be for all and not just for some.
