Everything changed after immigrating to Canada in 2019. Aine completed his final year of high school in Scarborough before enrolling in the University of Windsor's nursing program at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.
He was adapting to a new country, a new education system and a new way of learning all at once.

Disability Pride Month celebrates disability activism and the culture, identity and contributions of the disability community (CANVA STOCK/University of Windsor)
By Kate Hargreaves
With its colourful and muted stripes, the Disability Pride flag is itself an example of accessible design.
First created by Ann Magill in 2016, the original flag featured brighter colours in a lightning bolt pattern but inadvertently had a strobing effect for some with migraines and seizures. In true inclusive fashion, Magill listened to the community and redesigned the flag, leading to its current version of muted colours and diagonal stripes.
