Across Canada, about 27 percent of people aged 15 and older live with a disability. In a country of 41 million, that translates to about 11 million people—including many people in our Salvation Army context. So, how is our territory working to improve accessibility, to ensure everyone belongs? 

On this episode, we’re joined by Colonel Margaret McLeod, chief secretary, and Major Christine Johnston, territorial disabilities consultant, who share their perspectives on how the territory is progressing in this area, and why accessibility is not an add-on, but is an essential part of the gospel and our mission. (Find a link to accessibility resources in the podcast show notes.)
