Accessibility | Colchester Museums Every effort has been made to make our museums great places for everybody to visit.

Spiral stairs and underground vaults make access tricky, so we’re testing setups and aiming to pilot in early 2026. Access info: colchester.cimuseums.org.uk/access/

Day 15: Recognition matters.
When venues prioritise access such as captioning, they're not just following guidelines, they're championing access. The best venues build accessibility into their planning from the start, rather than treating it as an afterthought.

#CAW2025

It was empowering to join #LdnOnt survivors, advocates, & allies at #TbtnLdn to call for an end to gender-based violence. Women's safety is non-negotiable. Endorse the #ConsentAwarenessWeek Act & download the petition: peggysattler.ca.

#TakeBackTheNight
#WeBelieveSurvivors
#CAW2025

Students are at a higher risk for experiencing sexual violence. They deserve safe campuses where consent is taught, encouraged, and celebrated. Join students and student leaders in calling for #ConsentAwarenessWeek.  

#CAW2025

On June 3rd, I introduced the #ConsentAwarenessWeek Act in the legislature alongside my colleagues @kristynwongtam.bsky.social @chandrapasma.bsky.social @alexagilmour.bsky.social. Now, more than ever, Ontario needs consent education.

#CAW2025

Building a culture of consent in our workplaces will help protect all workers. Join workers and union leaders in calling for #ConsentAwarenessWeek.  
 
#CAW2025

Those who work on the front lines supporting survivors of gender-based violence support officially designating #ConsentAwarenessWeek in Ontario because it will make our communities safer.   

#CAW2025

Today marks Day 2 of #ConsentAwarenessWeek. Watch my video to learn more:

#CAW2025

Today marks the first day of #ConsentAwarenessWeek.  
 
Sexual violence refers to any sexual act that happens without consent, and is one of the most pervasive and underreported forms of violence in Canada. Understanding consent is critical to recognize and prevent sexual violence. #CAW2025

Huge thanks to everyone who came along to last Saturday's inspiring Climate Action Week Sydney event at PHIVE in Parramatta. The sweltering 36 degree day certainly reminded us all why holding such an event in Western Sydney is critically important!

#caw2025 @powerhousemuseum.bsky.social

Thank you @warnock.senate.gov for your vote against the GENIUS Act in Senate Banking this week! We hope you continue to hold fast against pressure from the crypto industry.

Consumer voices will be heard! We’re meeting with Congress all week as part of the 2025 Consumer Advocacy Week. Top priorities: Keep big bank overdraft fees capped at $5, protect a rule to remove medical debt from credit reports, and defend the #CFPB. #ProtectConsumers #CAW2025

Protect the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau

Thank you @repbillfoster.bsky.social for meeting with us to support the #CFPB during Consumer Advocacy Week. Protecting the CFPB's rules on #medicaldebt, #overdraft, and #paymentapps is vital. These are essential rules to protect #consumer financial stability. #CAW2025 #ProtectConsumers #CAW2025

Imagine a grocery store where a jar of pickles is $5, but if you break a jar by accident while shopping, it's a $35 fee. That's how #bigbanks price #overdraft. And some set up traps to encourage spills. #DefendCFPB #HandsOffCFPB #CAW2025
