Your Voice Counts – and Here’s How You Can Make a Difference
Episode description
Season 2, Episode 3
Did you know that, when we add up every person with a disability (including older adults with mobility challenges), we comprise one of the biggest potential voting blocs in Canada -- a critical mass of people who can make a definite difference in which political party wins an election and which issues are advanced?
Welcome to Episode 3 of our second season of Connect 4 Life: The Podcast. This episode features Connect 4 Life Founder, Melanie Taddeo, explaining how the voices and votes of Canadians with disabilities can count in an election. She provides do-able and very practical ways for anyone to participate – whether it’s in the current Ontario provincial election or the upcoming national election in Canada.
Melanie also introduces listeners to “Know Your Rights”, a ground-breaking program for voters with disabilities being offered right now by Connect 4 Life (visit www.connect4life.ca).
