July 23, 2025.
Great day of learning at the AI Summit in Winnipeg today hosted by Bioscience Association Manitoba. Seeing how far AI has come and how fast it is evolving is almost unimaginable.

Healthcare in Canada is shifting along with AI to optimize outcomes for people with disabilities and our ageing population.

We are already starting to integrate AI into Incluzia processes and solutions (ethically, responsibly, and with full transparency).

The message continues to be, “Don’t get left behind, learn whatever you can about how AI can help you, your organization and the people you serve”

Thanks to Tech Manitoba, North Forge and other supporters of this important event! Today my brain is full but my potential is unlimited!

✨ In recognition of National AccessAbility Week, I’m sharing a personal reflection on why accessible housing has become the core focus of my work.

Throughout my 25-year career as an Occupational Therapist, I’ve seen first hand how environmental barriers affect the daily lives of people with disabilities and older adults. While accessibility gaps exist across many sectors in Canada, I’ve chosen to concentrate my efforts where I believe I can make the most meaningful impact—in the spaces we call home.

There’s still so much work to be done to create a more inclusive Canada.
Where will you focus your energy for change?
