David Onley wasn’t royalty, just the Queen’s representative in Ontario. But his funeral on Monday reminded us all of what an impressive legacy he leaves behind, writes @spaikin tvo.org/article/a-role-model…
It was such a pleasure to meet Canada's fastest man Andre De Grasse @De6rasse at #TDTechCon over seven years after I took the second photo of him right after he bursted onto the scene winning gold during the Toronto 2015 Pan Am Games at York U. So happy for this hometown hero! 🥇

I am devastated by the news of the passing of the Honourable David C Onley. David was my mentor, my inspiration, my friend. He was one of the kindest, brightest souls I have ever known and he brought hope and love to everyone he met.

This year’s global theme for #IDPwD 2022 set by the United Nations is ‘Transformative solutions for inclusive development: the role of innovation in fuelling an accessible and equitable world’.
Let’s all work together to create a fully inclusive and equitable society.

Ann Mayer calling out WCAG for lack of readability! 0/100 readability level and grade level 25.2 (more than a PHD). 👏 why are we not making accessibility knowledge approachable? #a11ytoconf
Celebrating the intersections of inclusive design and content at the
#A11yTOconf digital accessibility conference. Grateful to be learning from the brilliant folks in this room again, it's been way too long! 💚#TD #TDdiversity – at Toronto, Ontario
You can be technically compliant, but still not accessible. That's where writers and content designers come in. Plain language principles include short sentences, elimination of jargon, active voice and Grade 8 reading level or lower - wise words from Ann Mayer. #a11yTOConf – at Toronto, Ontario

Non-Indigenous people: please remember that September 30th isn’t a day of celebration or joy for us. For many of us, it’s a day that reminds us of loss and is a day of mourning and remembrance. Please remember this when smiling with your friends for a pic in your orange shirts.
