Meg is a CPACC certified digital accessibility specialist whose advocacy is deeply informed by her personal experience with disability. She has spoken at the University of Guelph on the importance of social understanding in tech and works to support anyone new to accessibility, especially those who may not realize it applies to them.

I am Brad Howcroft living with cerebral palsy. I have lived in Guelph my entire life and proudly own my own home. I worked in the manufacturing industry for 31 years and am now retired. Over the years I have been on different disability committees. In the 80’s we built an 84-unit accessible apartment with 21 units retrofitted for the disabled. I was on Guelph’s “AAC (Accessible Advisory Committee) for 8 years and currently on the Guelph Barrier Free Committee.

Maddy Workman,

My name is Maddy Workman, I am a 24 year old woman living with cerebral palsy. I rely on my power wheelchair to get around so I have many years of experiencing inaccessibility. I have a passion to help make the world a more accessible place, by starting right here in Guelph where I call home!
