Tomorrow is Access Awareness Day

On June 7th, pause and think about accessibility, and what it means for those of us with disabilities. Access Awareness Day is put on by the Social Planning and Research Council (SPARC BC), which is one of this province's key actors producing research around accessibility, income security, and development. The campaign is aimed primarily at encouraging businesses to make their workplace more inclusive for consumers and workers with visible and invisible disabilities. This encompasses accessibility through design and through the way we approach and talk about inclusion.

If you'd like to see how you can extend this to your own workplace, download SPARC's Access Is Everyone's Business Booklet from their website for information and ideas.
