New Brunswick’s 34th annual Disability Awareness Week is coming up! Join us live on June 1st at 10:30 am ADT with a special guest speaker: Robert Hampson.

Robert is an avid swimmer who runs a successful charity and spends lots of time exploring the city of Toronto, where he lives with his guide dog Spokane. His favourite pastimes are cooking, skiing, rock climbing and woodworking. When Robert was four years old, he learned to adapt to a world without sight.

“Never tell me something is impossible. I think if you want to do a thing badly enough you can find a way. When somebody tells me I can’t, it usually makes me want to do it even more.”

This presentation will be available in English, French, ASL & LSQ. Register to attend: https://bit.ly/3ezk2gX
