If you hadn't seen this article from The Globe and Mail, it's worth a read:It's well past time for a Canadians with Disabilities Act
Nova Scotia would do well to pay more attention to travel infrastructure for people with disabilities:
Disability Travel Generates $17.3 Billion In Annual Spending. The Americans with Disabilities Act has broadened leisure opportunities for millions, including a big population in nearby New England. novascotia.com lists 157 of 784 places to stay as 'wheelchair accessible'. That's 20% of places, not rooms.
Exercise is good, exercising your vote is even better.
