Connecting Disability to … Good conversations and Marriage

To bring some warmth to this winter season, we’re learning about how disability played a role in one couple’s romance. Michelle Hewitt is a disability advocate in British Columbia, and the national co-chair of Disability Without Poverty, an organization dedicated to lifting Canadians with disabilities out of financial poverty. Victor Enns is a poet and author, who spent most of his life living in Manitoba – until this past spring. In this conversation, they tell us about how they met and how disability has impacted their relationship.
