Why we love Sandra
When you see very smart, very accomplished, very strong women fighting for the rights of others, you kinda get the shivers. Sandra is one of those women. She leads one of the most amazing organizations in Canada and she's a tireless fighter, activist and advocate. She's devoted her career to making the world a better place for vulnerable populations and she's fighting one day at a time for inclusion for kids living with any disabilities, a world where disability is included. We tip our hats to Sandra as she raises the bar, and makes us all want to strive a little more, and work a little harder to see this through.
