People First of Canada and the Manitoba Opera

Did you know that People First of Canada has been working with the Manitoba Opera? We are representing on a committee that is looking at a character in the play Of Mice and Men. The character has an intellectual disability and they want to make sure he is shown with dignity.

Our president, Kory Earle, will be part of a panel discussion held by the Manitoba Opera. The panel is called Stereotypes & Portrayal of People Labelled with Intellectual Disabilities in Media, Culture & Arts/Entertainment. It will be held at the Canadian Museum for Human Rights, in Winnipeg on April 3, 2016.
