Be sensitive to those with Environmental Sensitivities
A post by Lindsay Coulter, Queen of Green, from the David Suzuki Foundation
In Canada we use the umbrella term Environmental Sensitivities, which includes Multiple Chemical Sensitivity.
The last thing she says is, “If you suffer from Environmental Sensitivities, what’s one thing you’d like others to know?” So… post a comment.

ACCD survey
ACCD recently received a grant from the Alberta Human Rights and Multiculturalism Fund for a project entitled Barrier-Free Health and Medical Services in Alberta. This is not a government initiative but rather a project developed by ACCD in response to our members’ personal experiences accessing health and medical services at doctors’ offices throughout the province.
The Alberta Committee of Citizens with Disabilities is a consumer-directed provincial cross-disability organization that has worked since 1973 to promote full participation in society for Albertans with disabilities.
Over the years, we have heard numerous stories from people with disabilities about the barriers they face when visiting doctors’ offices and accessing procedures in diagnostic labs. ACCD wishes to identify these barriers and work towards removing them by recommending changes so that people with disabilities can fully access necessary health and medical services.
ACCD has developed a survey to gather information on the experiences people with disabilities have when going to a doctor’s office or diagnostic clinic.
