Rick Hansen Foundation

Youth Leadership Summit 2017

Rick Hansen Foundation

To celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Rick Hansen Man In Motion Tour, the Rick Hansen Foundation hosted a Youth Leadership Summit from May 20-22, 2017. Empty Cup Media spent the weekend in Ottawa and shot some historical and impactful moments during the summit. We were fortunate to spend some time at Rideau Hall, Carleton University, Parliament Hill and The Canadian Museum of History.

The Summit brought together 50 young leaders from across the country to participate in activities focusing on accessibility and inclusion for people with physical disabilities. The weekend was full of inspirational speakers, engaging workshops and educational tools which has sparked some excitement in our future leaders but also within our media team. Watch out for this next generation of accessibility champions!
