Angela Wright, Candidate for Councillor - Ward 1 - Bradford Times - Ontario, CA
Wright has never let her condition dictate what she can and can't do. A member of the Board of Directors for the Harbour Channel Co-op, treasurer of the Toronto FM Communication Society, a member of the Board of Governors for the Canadian Electric Wheelchair Hockey Association, a member of the BWG Accessibility Advisory committee, a volunteer and a business woman self-employed in the IT sector for the past 16 years, she has now turned to municipal politics, and registered as a candidate for Councillor in Ward 1.
"It's been an interest. I just never really had the motivation," Angie says, "but I feel that people are a little more receptive (to the idea of a person with a disability running for office). It might be 'prime time'."
A resident of Bradford since 2003, she sees a number of issues in the coming election. Transportation is number 1, but also the rapid growth that threatens to overwhelm the character of the municipality.
