Having joined Neil Squire initially as a co-op student in 2012, Milad eventually became one of the first staff members of our Makers Making Change program. A user of assistive technology himself, Milad was passionate about designing assistive technology that could empower others with disabilities — he combined his skills as a systems engineer with his own lived experience with disability.
Today marks the 42nd anniversary of the Neil Squire Society, and I wanted to share a story from our early days (and a couple photos).
After our post yesterday about the “I Have a Voice” cassette, our namesake Neil Squire’s family reached out with a photo of Neil’s personal cassette collection from back in the day.
Working with our founder Bill Cameron in research and development, Stan’s history with our organization dates back even before the formal founding of our Society in 1984. While he moved on early in our history, he’s remained a steady presence around Neil Squire, attending our annual general meeting year after year.
The Cameron Family recently let us know that there is a new accessible ramp and viewing area for the stage in Panorama Park that leads directly to our late founder Bill Cameron and family’s memorial bench in Deep Cove, British Columbia.
