ONTARIANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT COMMITTEE UPDATE You Can Now Watch and Listen On Line to the ODA Committee London Region's September 11 Michael Lewis Memorial "Still Waiting" Symposium on New Disability Accessibility Legislation November 21, 2004 SUMMARY We are delighted to let you know that for anyone who has high-speed access to the internet, you can now watch and listen to the proceedings of the ODA Committee London Region's excellent day-long September 11, 2004 Michael Lewis Memorial "Still Waiting" symposium on new disability accessibility legislation. It is available via streaming over the internet. Go to: http://tinyurl.com/3n9ob When you go to that link, which is accessible for users of screen-reading access software, you can click on and listen to the recorded proceedings, originally broadcast in four episodes by Rogers' Cable in London. You can watch and listen to the whole proceeding from beginning to end, or select specific parts to watch. This is the same content as is available for purchase on video tape from Rogers Cable in London. While Rogers did some editing, they successfully captured the key content of the symposium. We want to extend a huge thank you to a wonderful individual and his company that generously donated the time and web space to make this available. Three cheers for: Brian J. Spencer Streaming Digital Media dot Com Web: www.streamingdigitalmedia.com Email: spencer@streamingdigitalmedia.com We want to thank Rogers Cable for permitting this material to be made available in this format. As well, we again thank the team of volunteer organizers of this symposium, effectively led by Kathy Lewis and Lorin MacDonald, for arranging such a great conference. This technology lets us reach many people who couldn't come to join us at the symposium back in September. We encourage you to visit this link, watch the proceedings, and use the ideas exchanged there to develop your own ideas for amendments to Bill 118. Encourage others to watch this symposium too. Get your school, college or university course to use this as a teaching tool. This will be available on line for certain until around June 2005. Send us your feedback on the conference, and your ideas for amendments, at: oda@odacommittee.net Even though this conference took place four weeks before the Ontario Government introduced Bill 118, the proposed Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act, the conference's discussions and presentations provide excellent, enduring food for thought. For persons who are deaf, deafened, or hard of hearing, we still have available the real time captioning from this symposium. To request this MS Word file, email us at: oda@odacommittee.net
