Ep. 43: The Intersection of Disability and Rural & Remote Communities
About eight million Canadians 15 and older have at least one disability. But there aren’t any statistics on exactly how many of them live in rural and remote parts of the country. Almost two-thirds of the 5,123 municipalities in Canada are consider moderately remote, more remote or most remote by Statistics Canada. In remote communities there are some distinctly different challenges compared to experiencing urban life with disability. For this discussion, we wanted perspectives from some of the most remote parts of Canada. So we picked the far northwest, and the remotest part of down east in The Maritimes. The Northwest Territories covers 1.1 million square kilometres, and much of it is remote. Down east, over 80 per cent of the province of New Brunswick is forest. It’s the most rural province of the three Maritime provinces — New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island — that have coastlines on the Bay of Fundy and the Atlantic Ocean.

Ep. 42: Making Mega Sporting Events Accessible
Twenty twenty-six is a big year for big sporting events. In February, there were the 2026 Milano Cortina Winter Olympics and Paralympic Games, in Italy. Then — the geopolitical climate aside — there’s the 2026 FIFA World Cup with matches being played in Mexico, the U.S. and Canada from June 11 to 19. And then there’s the twenty-third Commonwealth Games happening in Glasgow, Scotland from July 24 to August 2. Glasgow 2026 will be the biggest sporting event of the year in the U.K. All of these events happen in numerous venues in their host cities. With thousands of athletes competing. And thousands of people attending — and working at — the events. But there’s a huge issue with mega-sporting events such as the World Cup, the Olympics and the Commonwealth Games. Accessibility. From how they’re promoted to the built environment of venues they’re held in, how accessible are these kinds of mega sporting events? And what’s the lasting social impact of making them accessible and inclusive? That’s what we’re exploring in Episode 42. And we’re doing that with two guests who are two of the most authoritative voices on sporting events accessibility in Canada. Don’t miss this engaging conversation with Brad McCannell and Jenn Bruce, PhD!

Episode 41: Making Tourism Accessible
In the first episode of our seventh season, we’re kicking things off on a “touristy” note, with a conversation about making tourism in Canada — and globally — more accessible. Tourism is one of the most important sectors of the Canadian economy. And the global one. In Canada, it directly employs more than 700,000 people. Globally, more than 357 million people. And tourism is almost two per cent of Canada’s gross domestic product. Globally, it’s 10 per cent of GDP — US$10.9 trillion in 2024. Against the geopolitical backdrop in 2026, the number of people internationally making Canada a tourism destination, keeps rising. In the 2025 summer tourism season, there was record revenue for Canada’s tourism businesses. In all, $58.96 billion. Destination Canada predicts annual revenue in the tourism sector will hit $160 billion by 2029. People from all over the world are coming to see Canada — and that includes people who have a disability. Which begs these questions: How accessible is tourism in this country? What are best practices in making tourism, and tourist attracts and businesses, more accessible? What are businesses and attractions in the tourism sector missing out on if they’re not accessible to both tourists and job seekers who have a disability? In Episode 41, a compelling national conversation about all this with these three guests providing their perspectives: Jasmine Qi, Workforce Development Director at Tourism HR Canada (Ottawa, ON) Shelley Petit, Chair of the New Brunswick Coalition of Persons With Disabilities (Fredericton, NB) Jamie Millar-Dixon, principal consultant at MacLeod Silver HR Business Partners (Vancouver, BC) SHOW NOTES Episode 41 transcript (PDF) Learn more about Tourism HR Canada, the New Brunswick Coalition of Persons with Disabilities and MacLeod Silver HR Business Partners UN Tourism, Ethics, Culture and Social Responsibility report (November 2025), Accessibility Guidelines for Tourism Businesses
