National AccessAbility Week

National AccessAbility Week (NAAW) is an opportunity:

• to celebrate the valuable contributions of Canadians with disabilities
• to recognize the efforts of individuals, communities and workplaces that are actively working to remove barriers to accessibility and inclusion

We all benefit from a society and an economy without barriers to inclusion. When persons with disabilities can participate in all aspects of society, including accessing employment, resources and services, it enriches Canada’s economy.

Throughout the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the Government of Canada has been helping Canadians with disabilities maintain their health, safety and dignity. This year celebration activities for NAAW will be virtual, respecting current public health instructions.
