Happy National AccessAbility Week - May 28, 2024
From May 26 to June 1, 2024, let's celebrate the significant and innovative contributions of persons with disabilities in Canada, and the accomplishments of people who proactively identify, remove, and prevent barriers to accessibility and disability inclusion in their communities and workplaces.
This year's theme is: "Forward Together: Accessibility and Inclusion for All," emphasizing the need for collective efforts to create a barrier-free Canada. On Wednesday, we also celebrate Red Shirt Day, an Easter Seals initiative that encourages Canadians to come together to wear red and show their support for people with disabilities and their families.
A fully inclusive Canada benefits all of us. Our country's strength lies in the diversity of its people — of all its people. In the spirit of "Nothing Without Us," the Government of Canada continues to collaborate with partners from the disability community, as well as Indigenous representatives, intersectional groups, and all levels of government to ensure the needs and interests of persons with disabilities are considered and supported.
