Save the Date! Federal Election Candidates’ Debate on Disability Issues Being Organized for April 8, 2025
March 29, 2025
Please mark your calendars. A group of disability organizations, including the AODA Alliance, are planning a candidates’ debate on disability issues for the federal election. It is being planned for Tuesday, April 8, 2025, starting at 7 pm Eastern time at CNIB headquarters, 1929 Bayview Avenue, Toronto. It will be in person and on Zoom. The debate will be moderated by veteran Toronto Star reporter David Rider. It will have an Ontario focus.
Details, including how to sign up to attend will be coming in the next few days. We’re all scrambling in an incredible rush to put this together.
