Councillor lives like a paraplegic for a day

A number of city leaders now know what it's like to live as a paraplegic would. They volunteered to live in a wheelchair for a day. For Councillor Rebecca Johnson it was an eye opener. She has a better handle on what obstacles people in a wheelchair have to face everyday from getting through doors to getting in a taxi. Johnson admits that even some parts of City Hall can be difficult for the disabled.
