Help Shape a Barrier-Free Future: Share Your Input on the Draft Accessible Canada Roadmap

The Accessible Canada Directorate, Employment and Social Development Canada is inviting Canadians to share their feedback on the draft Accessible Canada Roadmap (the Roadmap), an initiative aimed at advancing accessibility and inclusion for people with disabilities. Creating a barrier-free Canada by 2040 is a top priority for the Government of Canada—because when everyone can fully participate, society as a whole benefits.

The proposed Roadmap outlines a national vision for greater accessibility, and your feedback is essential. This is your opportunity to have a say in shaping the future of accessibility across the country.

Join Information Sessions

To learn more about the Roadmap and ask questions, join one of the upcoming webinars:

• Bilingual Webinar: Thursday, Nov. 21, 1:30 PM – 2:45 PM EST
• English Webinar: Thursday, Nov. 28, 1:30 PM – 2:45 PM EST

To register for a session, email Accessible Canada Directorate (ACCESSIBLE.CANADA.DIRECTORATE-DIRECTION.CANADA.ACCESSIBLE@hrsdc-rhdcc.gc.ca) by end of day on Tuesday, Nov. 19. Be sure to include your full name, preferred session, and any accessibility accommodations you may need (e.g., ASL or LSQ interpretation, captioning).

Have Questions?

If you have any questions ahead of the webinars, please email them to Accessible Canada Directorate (ACCESSIBLE.CANADA.DIRECTORATE-DIRECTION.CANADA.ACCESSIBLE@hrsdc-rhdcc.gc.ca).
