On this International Day of Persons with Disabilities, Derick Fage joined the Algonquin College community to give a compelling and vulnerable talk about his experience living with an invisible disability.
Fage is the host and producer of Daytime Ottawa at Rogers TV and the President of the Canadian Continence Foundation — a cause he has championed since going public with his personal struggle of living with chronic fecal incontinence since birth. Fage’s candid conversation focused on what he’s coined “The Relentless Pursuit of Happiness”, an inspirational chat about how he overcame the mental health challenges, loneliness and shame he’s faced as a result of his disability.
