National AccessAbility Week (NAAW) takes place every year starting on the last Sunday in May. It is a time when accessibility and inclusion are promoted across communities and workplaces and a time to celebrate the contributions of Canadians with disabilities. It is also an opportunity to recognize the efforts of Canadians who are actively removing barriers and ensuring persons with disabilities have an equal chance to participate in all aspects of Canadian society.
To recognize this week, the National Educational Association of Disabled Students (NEADS) hosted a panel event on Zoom highlighting accessibility initiatives and best practices of disability organizations and post-secondary schools featuring representatives from Toronto Metropolitan University; The Centre for Research on Work Disability Policy; and Wavemakers.
This event was supported by the Government of Canada through Employment and Social Development Canada.
