(EMAILWIRE.COM, August 31, 2007 ) Kelowna, BC -- Aquassure Bath Products Inc. is proud to announce their membership with the Centre for Independent Living in Toronto (CILT).The Centre for Independent Living in Toronto is a resource centre that emphasizing peer support, self-direction, and community integration by and for people with disabilities. A part of the Canadian Association of Independent Living Centres, the CILT promotes an end to institutional living for people with disabilities and encourages and supports integration of individuals into the community. Independent Living (IL) is a vision, a philosophy and a movement of persons with disabilities. Born on California university campuses in the 1970s, the movement spread to Canada in the 1980s, and has since reached around the globe and changed the way people view and respond to disability.“At Aquassure Bath Products, ‘Accessible Bathing for Independent Living’ is our motto. This fits right into the philosophy behind CILT. We are committed to supporting groups like CILT that serve our customers. As a therapist, I have worked with people who have varying levels of disability and have seen the challenges that their disabilities present. In fact, helping people live more independent lives was the motivation to the development of the bathtub," says Matthew Longman, President of Aquassure Bath Products and a Registered Massage Therapist.Aquassure Bath Products was founded in 2002 by Matthew Longman and Shari McDowell. After many years of development and expert input, their universal design accessible bathtubs were commercialized earlier this year. Unlike walk in bathtubs, Aquassure’s bathtubs are designed to be used by people with mobility challenges ranging from poor balance to those requiring walkers, wheelchairs and lifts. Their handicap bathtubs are full-sized and are easily retrofitted into existing bathtub enclosures.
