(POST MILLENNIAL) – A Vancouver woman who was born with no hands was kicked out of an Indigo Chapters bookstore location for not wearing a mask. When attempting to explain her medical disability exemption, staff threatened to call the police.
Elisabeth Walker-Young is a four-time Paralympic swimmer. She was denied entry to a Vancouver Indigo location for not wearing a mask. Walker-Young is physically unable to put on a mask because she was born with no hands, according to Global News.
The Order of Canada recipient said, “When I am out with my daughter or my husband, they will help me put on a mask. But when I am out in the world independently, I just can’t do it.”
