MAP National Meeting 2024
MAP team members gathered on Monday June 10th and Tuesday June 11th to discuss models and community perspectives on effective modes of Knowledge Translation (KT)! Read on to learn more about what we learned and created!
A spotlight on the Inclusive Airports Project: Toward inclusive accessibility in Canadian airports
Inclusive Airports Project: Expanding opportunities for participation, to promote inclusion for people with disabilities when they travel. It’s not enough for travel to be possible: it must be equitable and satisfying for everyone. That’s why the Inclusive Airport project mobilizes the lived experience of people with disabilities, directly in airports. Their voice and vision will be the vehicle that transforms access in Canadian airports.

Tribute
It is with sadness that we announce the departure of Serge Poulin, director of RUTA-Montréal. A fervent defender of the rights of people with disabilities, he knew how to make his perceptions of the situations around him heard. His keen sense of fairness encouraged reflection and his contribution as a research partner was sincere and caring.
