A mother and daughter team, the Gushue family! 
By: Hon. Iain Rankin « » (Environment)
I hereby give notice that on a future day I shall move the adoption of the following resolution:

Whereas cerebral palsy is a neurological condition that affects a person's movements and posture, and is the most common physical disability in childhood and affects 17 million people worldwide; and

Whereas Olivia Gushue, a Grade 2 student at St. Margaret's Bay Elementary School, and her family from Lewis Lake is working hard to educate others and raise awareness by creating more conversations around accessibility, inclusion, tolerance, respect, and improved supports and treatments for individuals living with cerebral palsy; and

Whereas Olivia, who has cerebral palsy herself, was joined at her school by Mayor Savage and Councillor Whitman on October 6th, World Cerebral Palsy Awareness Day, to proclaim October 6, 2017, as Cerebral Palsy Awareness Day in the Halifax Regional Municipality;

SUPPORTS EXTRAORDINARY NEEDS - THANK
HON. IAIN RANKIN « » : I would like to recognize Robin Gushue, founder of Living Outside the Lines Organization, a not-for-profit organization dedicated to assisting families of children with extraordinary needs. They believe every child deserves an opportunity to lead a fully inclusive, accessible lifestyle.

Olivia, Robin's third and youngest child, was born with spastic quadriplegic cerebral palsy, a neurological condition that affects muscle function and control. Robin originally began writing as a way to connect with other families, but it blossomed into an opportunity to advocate for inclusion, equality, accessibility, and awareness.

Living Outside the Lines Organization provides funding for specially-adapted equipment for most inclusive and accessible recreation programs and has a scholarship program for secondary education or training at accredited institutions.

I would like the members of the Nova Scotia House of Assembly to join me in thanking Robin and Living Outside the Lines Organization for their caring and vision of a fully-inclusive community.
