Everest: for the Discriminating Palate?
April 5th, 2008 by stv
Aaron Shelbourne has a long history of sticking up for the little guy through his work with the Ontario Coalition Against Poverty (OCAP), and he’s also a founding member of Independence Unlimited, an advocacy group for people with disabilities.
He’s also a victim of discrimination.
Shelbourne, who lives with Cerebral Palsy (CP) and communicates through augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) which requires an assistant, used to be a regular patron of Everest restaurant on Queen Street, until he was recently asked to never come back by manager Karma Sanchok.
