SUMMARY:National AccessAbility Week
DESCRIPTION:Let’s change the way we think\, talk and act about accessibility and inclusion!\nNational AccessAbility Week (NAAW) 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. \nWhen persons with disabilities can access meaningful employment\, resources and services\, Canada’s economy grows. Businesses have the chance to welcome more customers\, service satisfaction improves and workplaces reflect Canada’s diversity. \nBy bringing Canadians together to recognize the valuable contributions of persons with disabilities\, we are strengthening the collaborative effort needed to create a country that is fully accessible and inclusive.

SUMMARY:National AccessAbility Week
DESCRIPTION:May 27 to June 2 is National AccessAbility Week. This is a time for Canadians to promote inclusion and accessibility in our communities and workplaces\, and celebrate the contributions of Canadians with disabilities. It is also a time to recognize the efforts of individuals\, communities and workplaces who are actively removing barriers to give Canadians of all abilities a better chance to succeed. \nWe need to change the way we think\, talk and act about barriers to participation and accessibility\, and we need to do it right from the start\, not as an afterthought. An inclusive Canada is one where all Canadians can participate and have an equal opportunity to succeed in their workplaces and communities. \nNational AccessAbility Week aims to bring this perspective to the forefront for Canadians\, and highlight some of the important initiatives the Government of Canada and its partners are undertaking to bring about this change.
