“I want to honour Randy Eric Dickinson, who died at age 71. He worked hard his whole life for the rights of people with disabilities.”
Official Hansard

Mr. Speaker, the world lost a hero on Monday, May 18. Randy Eric Dickinson passed away in Fredericton at the age of 71. Randy was a tireless advocate for accessibility and inclusion for people with disabilities. He served as the first executive director of the Premier’s Council on Disabilities and as chairperson of the New Brunswick Human Rights Commission, among countless other roles. His work shaped New Brunswick’s Accessibility Act and the federal Accessible Canada Act. In recognition of his dedication, he was appointed to the Order of Canada and the Order of New Brunswick. Randy is survived by his beloved wife Karen and a large, loving family. He was passionate about helping others, whether through policy or simple acts of kindness. Please join me in honouring such a dedicated advocate, and let us build on Randy’s incredible legacy.
