The Canada Disability Benefit will come into effect in one year, and then it will take another year to produce it’s regulations. This is just one important fact we learn as we listen to one of it’s leading champions describe the CDB on this episode of Living Blind. Len Baker, President and CEO of March of Dimes Canada, worked with government and leaders of other national organizations serving people with disabilities, to ensure that the CDB, a long awaited income top-up, comes into effect and has the opportunity to make a much-needed difference in the lives of Canadians withdisabilities. In addition, Len and Naomi discuss the importance of collaboration in order to effect real change. Naomi has this to say about her interview with Len: “Speaking with Len Baker raised my awareness about the work he, March of Dimes, and other non-profit organizations are doing to support quality of life for Canadians with disabilities. It is important for Canadians to be aware not only of the services they can access themselves, but also the greater advocacy work that the very same organizations do at the legislative level. Len’s call to action for organizations across Canada to collaborate reminds us that we are better when we work together.
