JUNE 28 DEADLINE APPROACHES FOR NOMINATIONS TO CITIZEN CONSULTATION TEAM

Released on June 14, 2013

Team Members to Play Important Role in Development of Province-Wide Disability Strategy

The deadline for nominations to the Citizen Consultation Team that will steer the development of a province-wide Disability Strategy is now just two weeks away.  The 12-15 members of the team will provide advice on the consultation process, priorities and content of the Disability Strategy.  Nominations will be accepted until June 28, and team members will be appointed in the fall of this year.

“We are looking to the people of Saskatchewan for their input in developing the Disability Strategy,” Legislative Secretary and Regina Coronation Park MLA Mark Docherty said.

Docherty will serve as a member of the Citizen Consultation Team, and report directly to Social Services Minister June Draude.

“It’s important to draw from as many experiences and opinions as possible in order for the Disability Strategy to support our goal of making Saskatchewan the best place in Canada to live for persons with disabilities,” Docherty said.  “To do that, we need people with disabilities to be able to fully participate in, and benefit from, our province’s growing economy.”

The Disability Strategy will focus on the priority areas outlined in the Government’s Plan for Growth: accessibility, affordability and availability of housing; transportation; employment; education; support for community inclusion; and support for caregivers.  Other priorities may emerge during the consultation process.

Members of the public can submit their nominations for the Citizen Consultation Team by downloading the application form from the Ministry of Social Services website at www.socialservices.gov.sk.ca/disability-strategy.

Those individuals who are not selected for the Citizen Consultation Team will have other opportunities to contribute to the process, including taking part in working groups, public consultations and one-on-one meetings.
