 Every day, most residents of Manitoba come and go on their daily business; entering buildings, stores, offices or their workplaces without even noticing that they have had to open doors and climb stairs to get to where they want to go and do the things they want to do.  It is so routine an act that half the time, we’re on auto-pilot and thinking about other things.   But for about 200,000 Manitobans, it’s anything but routine.  These are people living with one or more disability and doing these simple acts can be a formidable challenge, and sometimes, not possible.
