Cal's Story
Cal Schuler is a man of vision, commitment and connection, over the span of three decades; Cal has forged powerful inroads for those with disabilities and contributed wholeheartedly to numerous community initiatives. His career began and flourished following his injury in 1975, but his personal experience with a spinal cord injury has fueled his true passion – to assist others who also live with various disabilities, and to promote disability awareness and barrier-free environments.
Cal has been an active leader and participant on numerous boards and committees on local and provincial levels. Over the years he has coordinated and guided numerous projects and owns and operates, Spectra Alternative Solutions, geared to facilitate disability awareness and sensitivity training, promote barrier-free activity, develop corporate policy, provide support and actively change conditions that negatively impact upon full participation for persons with disabilities.
