Right now, 3.8 million Canadian adults are living with a mobility, vision, or hearing disability. These Canadians struggle every day to access spaces like shops, office buildings, and community centres because of physical barriers to accessibility. As more and more Canadians are aging, accessibility matters more than ever. We need to rethink how our communities can include people of all ages and abilities.
Canadians like you can help break down social and physical barriers in the places where we work, live and play. When these barriers are removed, people with disabilities can participate and live to their full potential. Find out how you can help improve accessibility in your school or community!
