Today is Trans Day of Remembrance, a day marked every November 20 to remember and honour those lost to transphobic violence. When 54% of trans women and 63% of Two-Spirit individuals report to have experienced physical or sexual violence due to their identity, we know we can do better and reaffirm our collective commitment to equity, dignity, and safety for all.

Spot on Accessibility: Service Dogs & Other Service Animals Service dogs do so much more than guide people who are blind — they provide vital support for individuals with epilepsy, diabetes, mental health challenges, and other disabilities. While guide dogs became widely known in the 1920s, it wasn’t until the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) in 1990 that service animals were formally recognized in the U.S. Today, dogs remain the most common service animals, but others — including miniature horses, monkeys, and birds — also help people live more independent and empowered lives. #serviceanimals #disability
