IL Canada Annual General meeting in Ottawa

Hi everyone,

I am in Ottawa for the AGM of IL Canada, the national office for Independent Living Vernon.  There are 27 IL Centres in Canada.

This morning delegates had a presentation about: Disability Rights Promotion International (D.R.P.I.) is a collaborative project working to establish a monitoring system to address disability discrimination globally. D.R.P.I. has adopted a holistic approach to disability rights monitoring, with three focus areas: individual experiences monitoring, systemic monitoring and media monitoring.
