Remembering Joey Moss [4:05]

Joey Moss was born with Down syndrome. He passed away in 2020, after almost 40 years as a prominent employee of Edmonton’s best-known professional sports teams. He became a role model for many people who live with developmental disabilities. Because of him, millions of Canadians have a better understanding of how everyone benefits from inclusive employment.
