April Hubbard and guests discuss the ways in which we can end disability poverty in Canada on this edition of In Focus.

New Brunswickers featured in this episode include Heather Smith, Kaitlyn Layden and Shelley Petit.

From disability representation in film, TV and on stage to invisible disabilities, sex and disability or Indigenous perspectives on disability and inclusion, In Focus delves deep into these important and relevant topics. In Focus airs Thursdays at 8 p.m. Eastern on AMI-tv.
