During today’s AccessAbility Day virtual celebrations, Mayor Jim Watson announced that the City was joining the Canadian Accessibility Network, part of Carleton University’s READ Initiative (Research, Education, Accessibility and Design).
The Canadian Accessibility Network focuses on five overarching domains:
As a member, the City will choose an area of focus and partner with organizations interested in the same work. The City will benefit from collaborating and exchanging knowledge with organizations like postsecondary institutions, not-for-profit organizations, service providers, associations and foundations, and public and private industry.
The City hopes to work towards a variety of goals with fellow Canadian Accessibility Network partners:
AccessAbility Day is celebrated annually by the City during National AccessAbility Week. It’s an opportunity to connect with residents, share successes and get feedback on emerging issues.
