The Disability Diaries With Steven Vine

The Disability Diaries With Steven Vine
Bonita Zarrillo – Politician, Member of Parliament, Disability Advocate
In this episode, Steve and Chris talk to Bonita Zarrillo, who was elected as the Member of Parliament for Port Moody-Coquitlam in 2021. She is currently the NDP Critic for Infrastructure and Communities; Disability Inclusion; and the Deputy Health Critic. They have an informative and thought-provoking discussion, including such topics as advocacy, accessibility, infrastructure, policies, and initiatives. 28% of British Columbians aged 15 years and older live with a disability. Nationally, 41% live below the poverty line. We are glad to have Bonita on our team. Visit her website: https://bonitazarrillo.ndp.ca/
