Join Karen Lai on Monday, September 16th from 12-1 PT for a presentation offering an overview of the development of the Accessibility Strategy for the City of Vancouver. The disability community was at the forefront of the development of this strategy and the multi-year action plan.

She holds a Master of Arts in Human Kinetics, where she examined social theories behind the social inclusion of people with disabilities. She has experience working alongside individuals with disabilities in recreation, employment, government, and other community involvements.
