The Canadian Down Syndrome Society is launching It Was Never Okay: Forward Not Backward, a national awareness campaign calling on Canadians to confront the systemic barriers that continue to affect people with Down syndrome. The initiative follows World Down Syndrome Day, marked on March 21. In an interview with OMNI News, Laura LaChance, Executive Director of the organization, highlights the importance of Canadians signing a petition that outlines five key actions to advance inclusion and protect the rights of people with Down syndrome.
