Kamloops Self Advocate Newsletter

Barrier Free Canada- Towards a Barrier Free Canada for all persons with disabilities.

There is also a section which includes a documentary by Shaw Cable about the KSA and how it was created. You can also find pictures of people from the Ability Friendly Accessible Business Certificate program, as well as a rate sheet. 

KSA Has a New Website: ksanews.ca On the website, you will find lots of great information. You can look at the latest newsletter, but you can also find past newsletters. There are inclusion events, testimonials, photos of people and businesses.

There is information about the KSA newsletter and sponsors, which includes publishing support and supporting agencies. There are also some fun pages, including a Thanks Page dedicated to Wenda Noonan, the former Echo Newspaper, who helped with printing the newsletters from the very start. I am proud of this website and being able to offer a new service where the events are not just in my newsletter but on the website as well. I hope you will enjoy reading all the great information about the KSA. Publisher Krystian Shaw
