Eddie Joyce, MHA for the District of Bay of Islands, says government’s
announcement for the creation of a disabled angler program is a positive
initiative that will include and encourage disabled people in the province
to participate in outdoor recreational activities. "As a representative of
a national group that works with and represents disabled people in the
province, I feel this initiative is a positive move for the disabled
community," said Mr. Joyce. "These programs help disabled people in our
society become more active and full participating citizens. I encourage all
people in the disabled community to take advantage of this program and enjoy
the great experience of fishing.
"I encourage government to look at expanding programs of this type to
ensure that all disabled people in our province have equal opportunity to
the activities that many of us take for granted. I am hopeful that we will
witness more of these valuable initiatives in the future." |
