National AccessAbility Week 2025 theme
The theme for National AccessAbility Week this year is “Breaking barriers together: Paving the way for an inclusive future.”
It highlights the importance of working together to build a fairer, more inclusive Canada. Let's join forces to break down barriers and support the needs and interests of persons with disabilities.
When persons with disabilities have equal opportunities to contribute to their communities and workplaces, we create a thriving society and a brighter future for everyone.
