‘Avoidable turbulence’
July 6th, 2008Editors at the Regina [Saskatchewan] Leader Post write that Avery Ottenbreit’s harness, which she had previously used on a WestJet flight, couldn’t have prevented her from assuming the “help” position because she wasn’t physically able to do this in any case.
It goes without saying that Avery and her family deserve an apology from somebody for the frustration and stress in getting her home from the conference she attended.
That conference, by the way, was sponsored by the Active Living Alliance and dealt with teaching young people with handicaps about living actively in today’s world.
About doing the things that other Canadians do every day without a second thought.
And about how doors should not be closed to those living with profound physical challenges.
