Winnipeg will be host to the annual national CASE (Canadian Association for Supported Employment) conference this coming June.  It is expected that over 250 delegates will attend the conference at the Delta Winnipeg Hotel to discuss strategies and successes of supporting persons with disabilities to work. The conference will bring together service providers, advocates and educators to share tools, resources and innovative practices in supported employment. CASE is a national network of service providers and citizens who are concerned about the full participation of persons with disabilities in the Canadian labour force.

Now that you've taken the rabble guide to consensus decision making to heart, you're ready to lead a workshop on it!

The Network for Climate Change has an excellent outline for a workshop for ten to twenty people. It covers:

A proposed agenda

How to create a group agreement

The basics of consensus

This year’s conference programming will move attendees beyond a theoretical and technical understanding of accessibility by providing a practical framework for action.

In addition to information and communication accessibility, the conference is seeking presentations from individuals who have successfully moved accessibility forward within their institutions through such strategies as community building, networking or "making the case" for inclusion.

Share your first-hand experience with disability issues as well as academic or evidence-based research in the field of disability.

Join us to watch "The Cockettes"

The Cockettes: A documentary about the psychedelic 1970s San Francisco drag queen troupe of the same name, who decked themselves out in gender-bending drag and tons of glitter for a series of legendary midnight musicals at the Palace Theater in North Beach. Admired by Truman Capote, The Cockettes performed all-singing, all-dancing extravaganzas featuring elaborate costumes, rebellious sexuality, and exuberant chaos.
