SUMMARY:National AccessAbility Week
DESCRIPTION:Let’s change the way we think\, talk and act about accessibility and inclusion!\nNational AccessAbility Week takes place every year starting on the last Sunday in May. It is a time when accessibility and inclusion is promoted across communities and workplaces and a time to celebrate the contributions of Canadians with disabilities. It is also an opportunity to recognize the efforts of Canadians who are actively removing barriers and ensuring persons with disabilities have an equal chance to participate in all aspects of Canadian society. \nThe increased social and economic inclusion of persons with disabilities has positive economic and social benefits\, for persons with disabilities\, for business\, the economy\, and society in general.
