We are pleased to welcome the Canadian Paraplegic Association Ontario to the Ontario Injury Lawyer Blog. Gillian Lynne-Davies, Communications and Marketing Co-ordinator for CPA Ontario has provided the following guest post to share more information about the organization and how they are providing helpful resources to people with spinal cord injuries.

For those blog visitors with a spinal cord injury who may not be aware of Canadian Paraplegic Association (CPA) Ontario, I would like to take this opportunity to introduce you to our organization and the programs and services we offer.
