We were thrilled to welcome the Honourable Kirsty Duncan (new window), Minister of Science and Minister of Sport and Persons with Disabilities, to our Burnaby Head Office on Thursday, April 12th. We had the pleasure of showing her our Working Together and Computer Comfort classrooms.
Assistive Technology Professional, Piriya Mokanasingham (new window), provided an assistive technology demonstration. Members from our Makers Making Change (new window) team showcased the LipSync and other low-tech assistive devices such as a pen holder and nail clipper holder.
