RE: the thing I was talking about at today's Social Justice session. After coming home from #nv10 I see the Greater Vancouver YMCA has opened the new Robert Lee YMCA. Maybe that explains why the Vancouver YMCA buried their apology for their ADHD stigma ad so the media doing a followup story would see it, but not the public, ADHD families, members or people and organizations who fund the YMCA.

I read the Saturday Vancouver Sun ad supplement on Robert Lee YMCA see http://www.vancouversun.com/search/search.html?q=robert+lee+ymca
Here's the first blog post I did on it

and here's the followup post. http://adultaddstrengths.com/2010/05/04/greater-vancouver-ymca-adhd-stigma-ad-follow-up/
