partner in the Canadian Disability Policy Alliance, a na-
tional collaboration of disability researchers, community
organizations, and federal and provincial policy-makers,
aimed at co-creating and mobilizing knowledge to en-
hance disability policy in Canada. The Alliance was funded
by the Social Science and Humanities Research Council
for a period of 5 years (2009-14) to address five policy
areas: Culture & recreation; Employment; Education; Fed-
eral disability policy; Health services.
