Do Local Good

The complex needs of Albertans living with disabilities are being supported in part by organizations like the YWCA. In this episode we are joined by Chandra MacLeod, who is the director of external relations for the YWCA and has an extensive history of working with people living with a disability. Also, Donna Bedard, who lives with a physical disability called dystonia. Donna and Chandra share their insights on how as a society we can work to support the community of people living with disabilities.
