Hi all,

Valentine's is supposed to be a time to celebrate our relationships, but for people with disabilities it's a painful reminder that they aren't given the same freedom to be in loving relationships.

Please have a look at the following article in Vancouver Is Awesome for some commentary on this topic:

Meetings with MLAs and government officials are in the works. Change can be a frustrating process, but keeping at it is the key: we'll get there as long as voices are raised about issue.

All the best =)
