"Seriously, I could not be more impressed with this guy! I did not want to end this ZOOM recording because it was SO MUCH FUN!
Anthony Frisina is a speaker, author, advocate for people who are differently abled, works at Mohawk College and is a community leader.
If we do decide to do a comedy tour together, we shall call it "the first stand up/ sit down duo". This guy had me laughing so much! It was my longest episode so far! (2 hours long!)
Gosh, I hope the audience loves it as much as we do!With love, laughter and inspiration"

I just finished “Above and Beyond” by fellow Hamiltonian and Ticats fan Anthony Frisina, a memoir of Anthony Frisina.
The book offers a great view into a lived experience different from mine - although, in some ways not that different at all. The book offers practical insights to keep with you when interacting with friends with a difference of ability.
Lastly, I now know what to get Anthony if I bump into him at Tim Horton’s. No spoilers! You’ll have to read the book and find out for yourself

“Anthony, I don’t think you realize the impact you have on people's lives. Thank you for all you do.”

I have just finished reading Anthony's book "Above & Beyond. It made me reflect on how important the mindsets and attitudes of our parents are in estabilishing the courage and the strength of the person we become. Anthony has done an exceptional job being positive while bringing attention to the barriers that are still o overcome to be a truly inclusive and accessible society. Thank you Anthony for sharing your story with the world

“Time for change. Where I live, the community is calling for fresh faces at the table. Hamilton’s Ward 8 should welcome Anthony Frisina's inclusive voice. He is a thoughtful & compassionate leader. You won’t be disappointed. I’ve worked with him for the last 5 years. He is a class act.”
Larry Di Ianni
“I have known Anthony Frisina since his days as a spokesperson for the Hamilton CYO’s programs. Anthony has always stood for inclusion and valuing people of all abilities. His courageous foray into municipal politics must be encouraged and congratulated. He would be a fearless advocate for the entire community.”

“Hi Mr. Frisina, I was just reading a CBC article about the woeful ODSP situation. I wanted to reach out and thank you for your hard work advocating for all those in this situation. If there’s anything I can do on some level to help I’d be happy to do so.”
