Spark the Conversation

I am super excited about the launch of "Spark the Conversation" - a creative contest for students from K-12 in Newfoundland and Labrador to get them thinking about inclusion and accessibility.

"Spark The Conversation” is a creative contest where young people are asked to draw or design a picture of how the concept of inclusion makes them FEEL. The hope is that these efforts will spark a broader conversation on how accessibility in the built environment benefits us all.

Organized by the Universal Design Network Newfoundland and Labrador (UDNNL), in partnership with the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador - Disability Policy Office, The Coalition of Persons with Disabilities, and Boom I.T., we are excited to launch this initiative which we hope is the start of many great conversations on the important topic of accessibility. It is our hope that this campaign drives age-appropriate conversations between parents, students and educators. Young people are often keenly aware of simple solutions that can benefit everyone. Teachers can also feel free to use this resource as a jumping-off point for conversation about accessibility in the built environment and start the creative ball rolling.

Universal Design is about creating environments, from the design stage, that are accessible to everyone and have the most flexibility of use. True accessibility works for everyone!

The contest begins today, September 27th, and submissions will be accepted up to and including October 18th, 2019. Winners will be announced at the Home Show in Mount Pearl on March 28th, 2020. UDNNL intends to post all submissions for public viewing on their website once the contest has concluded.

I am so excited to see what the kids will come up with!!

  1. Six weeks previously, I had attended my primary care doctor (pcs) with dysphoria and was treated for a urinary tract infection, however, symptoms persisted. Several days later I noticed an acute onset of bilateral vulvar blisters. I was clinically diagnosed with GENITAL HERPES and commenced taking valacyclovir 500 mg bd for one week as instructed by my PCD. The blisters resolved within five days, however, I developed burning and exquisite sensitivity to touch in both inner thighs and in my left buttock extending down my left leg and including the sole of my left foot and toes. I found that at times, I was unable to walk and sit. So returned to her pcd who told me to continue taking valacyclovir for another week, however, the burning persisted. And I knew this was never going to cure me. I sorted for Natural Herbs And Gos so good I came across doctor razor's Details,I contacted him and we spoke and he assured me everything is going to be permanently fine. Few days after I reached out to him he sent me herbal medicine to take for 18 days. after completing the dosage for 18 days. I started noticing some changes in my Genital Area. so i told the herbalist about it, he asked me to go for a medical test, which i did. Lo and behold, My pcd was surprised to see my result came out Negative. I was overwhelmed with joy, I waited for 2 weeks to make sure the Virus was not laying dormant in my Nerve Cells, So i went for another test After the two months, And it had the same Negative result. I am forever indebted to you Doctor Razor. If you are having hard times with this same virus or you do know of anyone with herpes virus, i kindly recommend you to him.
