SharePoint Access

Are you able to provide us with access to CMDCI’s SharePoint?

Update Program Information

I have some suggestions regarding the programs section. I want to group the programs underneath some high-level focuses. Then the individual programs would be subpages that fall underneath the focuses.

One example is the Disability Advocacy Focus, which includes programs for Eliminating Barriers, Use of Technology, and Advocacy.

Change “Programs” to Our Focus in the Main Navigation Bar

⁠

Remove the programs from here and instead list CMDCI focuses

Disability Advocacy ,Women Empowerment , Youth and Children Programs , Community Engagement

⁠

Disability Advocacy

Tag line - Improving the quality of life for Canadians with Disabilities from ethnocultural communities

Have the following as subpages

⁠

New Subpage - Advocacy Research and Academic Publications

CMDCI’s Zephania Matanga , Ph.D., along with Professor Rick Freeze, and other experts have co-authored a groundbreaking university textbook titled "Transformative-Inclusive-Education for Teacher Education."

The book provides an in-depth exploration of inclusive learning and is a must-read for all educators. What sets this textbook apart is that it is written from all voices within the education system, including parents and students' perspectives.

If you are an educator looking to deepen your understanding of inclusive learning, this book is for you. You can access it by visiting https://lnkd.in/gW9jvspj and clicking the "request a review copy" button.

New subpage - Culturally attune Gender based refugee centre.

New subpage- National Action Plan to End Gender-Based Violence Advocacy

CMDCI is proud to support The Canadian Women's Foundation and Women's Shelters Canada and other server providers in advocating for the National Action Plan to End Gender-Based Violence

At CMDCI, we take pride in our support for The Canadian Women's Foundation, Women's Shelters Canada, and other service providers in their efforts to advocate for the National Action Plan to End Gender-Based Violence.

The NAP is vital for addressing the escalating rates of gender-based violence in Canada, with systemic solutions needed for issues such as unequal support for survivors and inconsistent family law. It is crucial to ensure that protection for GBV survivors is not determined by location. These issues can be particularly impactful for disabled women from minority communities. The sector is eager to help make the NAP successful.

In March, we participated in NAP on the Hill and met with federal politicians to raise their awareness of the importance and urgency of the National Action Plan.
