Nyxks Musings

A person using a manual wheelchair sits beside a service dog in a forest clearing, facing the Toronto skyline in the distance. A small Canadian flag is attached to their backpack. The sky above glows with soft light, subtly tinted with the colors of the Disability Pride flag. The scene conveys empowerment, inclusion, and pride, with text that reads Being Canadian and Disabled, It's Complicated, but Powerful!

Being Canadian and Disabled: It’s Complicated

It’s July 1st—Canada Day, and also the first day of Disability Pride Month.

I can appreciate what’s good about where I live and still advocate for what needs to change.

Because the reality is: access isn’t universal. Disabled Canadians are still waiting on promises, still navigating broken systems, still too often left behind.

Disability Pride Month is about honoring who we are—not in spite of our disabilities, but with them. It’s also about pushing for a world that makes room for us.

Here’s to a future that celebrates all of us—fully, accessibly, and with pride.
