Catherine Frazee has been appointed an Officer of the Order of Canada for her advancement of the rights of persons with disabilities, and as an advocate for social justice.
Here is a excerpt from the article, from our friends at LiveWorkPlay:
"Her advocacy is not limited to any particular disability label or condition, and through her involvement with CACL she is a revered figure among those who are working towards full citizenship for people with intellectual disabilities.
I am not courageous. I have many fears, but disability is not – will never be – one of them. I am not inspirational. I revel in all of the excesses of a charmed life – privileged in work, in love, in pride, in care, in comfort. ~ Catherine Frazee"
