Share your ideas: Consultation on a draft Accessible Canada Roadmap

From: Employment and Social Development Canada

Current status: Open

Opened on September 27, 2024 and will close to new input on January 8, 2025.

Employment and Social Development Canada invites you to provide feedback on the draft Accessible Canada Roadmap!

The proposed Roadmap aims to set out a national vision for what a barrier-free Canada looks like, and we are hoping to hear from diverse voices active in advancing accessibility across Canada.

Your feedback is important for finalizing and launching a Roadmap that drives cohesive and meaningful progress towards a barrier-free Canada by 2040.

Additional engagement activities to complement the posting of this discussion paper will be organized later this fall.
