Jem Moeller's Story – 30 Stories for 30 Years of Council

Finding My Voice and Helping Others Find Theirs

My name is Jem Moeller, and I am a member of Community Living Ontario’s Council.

For me, self-advocacy means having the confidence to share what is in my heart. It also means helping other people feel comfortable sharing their stories and speaking about what matters to them.

I found my voice as an advocate by helping people tell their stories. Some people may feel shy or afraid to speak, and I want them to know that their experiences and ideas matter.

Finding my voice has also made a difference in my own life. I used to be much shyer, but I am now more comfortable speaking with others and sharing my thoughts. I am still learning new things about advocacy and how I can use my voice to help people.

I use my voice to support people with intellectual disabilities and Indigenous people. I want people to be able to make choices about their own lives and not be afraid to speak up when they need help.

I have listened to people in my community and helped bring their concerns to community and government representatives. Some people may not yet know how to speak up for themselves, so I try to help explain the issues they are experiencing.

Since becoming part of Council, I am most proud of helping other people become their own self-advocates. I want people to know that they can use their own voices, make their own choices and speak about what is important to them.

I am also proud to bring my Indigenous experiences to self-advocacy. I am proud of being Indigenous, proud of my culture and proud of how much I have grown over the years.

My advocacy is not only for me. I also want to support other Indigenous people and people with intellectual disabilities who may have similar experiences.

As Community Living Ontario’s Council celebrates its 30th anniversary, I am proud to be part of its story. I look forward to continuing to support people, share my experiences and help others find the confidence to use their voices.

"A memorandum of understanding signed by a majority of Canada’s provincial and territorial leaders aims to further the goal of making the country barrier free for people with disabilities.

The agreement... is being heralded by its signatories as a critical commitment towards a more unified and national approach to improving accessibility for Canada’s disabled residents.

A copy of the memorandum of understanding... states that the agreement is not legally binding. It is more of a roadmap towards a harmonization of policies to improve the lives of the disabled.

The MOU was signed by the leaders of all the provinces and territories, except for Quebec.

The agreement states that its main purpose is to facilitate cooperation in removing barriers for new builds and retrofits for persons with disabilities.

As well, the MOU calls on the federal government to create a National Accessibility Retrofit Fund to streamline accessibility funding to support the goal of becoming a barrier-free country.

The MOU has no specific timelines."

This is a step in the right direction, and we will need an enforced timeline with accountability to ensure a barrier-free future for all. A fully accessible built environment means people can live, work, and play anywhere, anytime, regardless of their abilities.
