This National AccessAbility week, we’re reflecting on the contributions and achievements of our incredible community, and the importance of raising awareness of ongoing efforts for a more inclusive and accessible Canada.

This topic is important not only this week, but every day and in everything we do!

Accessibility is at the core of our annual Abilities Expo event, where each year we gather to connect, learn from each other, and discover helpful resources and ideas that support independence, well-being, and meaningful connection for people with disabilities.

This year’s Abilities Expo is happening next week, Monday, June 8 at the Roundhouse Community Centre, and we invite you all to attend and continue moving this conversation forward.
