May 10, 2022

With Ontario’s general election underway, lots will be happening on the disability front.

Please watch TVO’s flagship current affairs program “The Agenda with Steve Paikin” tomorrow at 8 or 11 pm Eastern time. It will include an extensive interview with AODA Alliance Chair David Lepofsky on disability issues in the 2022 Ontario general election.

This program will appear on TV. It will also stream tomorrow at 8 pm on the Twitter feed and Facebook page of The Agenda with Steve Paikin. It will be permanently available on YouTube. In a future AODA Alliance Update, we will provide the YouTube link once it is available.

We enthusiastically applaud The Agenda with Steve Paikin for addressing disability issues on tomorrow night’s broadcast, which is important for over 2.6 million Ontarians with disabilities and for every other Ontarian, since everyone is bound to eventually get a disability as they age. Help us use this broadcast to promote real change. Please

  • Encourage your friends and family to watch this interview.
  • Promote this interview on social media like Twitter and Facebook.
  • Urge your local media to cover disability issues in the Ontario election.
