| Scope and content | File contains a presentation by Laverne Cook. Cook explains how she has been hired by the Port Alberni Friendship Centre to do a survey of "the disabled natives in the Port Alberni area" and how she feels that their needs in areas such as transportation, housing, and medicine need to be addressed. She explains how "These aboriginal disabled people want you to know that they are out there and that they need help with the problems that they face each day." Following the presentation Commissioner Erasmus asks how many people are being discussed, and what services are available to them to which Cook replies that there are none. | |
