National AccessAbility Week is dedicated to celebrating, promoting, and supporting disability inclusion and accessibility throughout Canada.
National AccessAbility Week 2024 is taking place from May 26 to June 1, under the theme of "Forward Together: Accessibility and Inclusion for All."
“Although we have made tremendous progress in creating a more accessible BWG for all, through the advice and support of our Accessibility Advisory Committee, Town staff and Council remain committed to continuous improvement in this area. National AccessAbility Week is an opportunity for us to celebrate our accomplishments while renewing our commitment to creating a barrier-free municipality.” – Mayor James Leduc
Throughout the week, the Town of BWG will be celebrating accessibility and disability inclusion throughout our community and invite residents to celebrate the accomplishments of people who proactively identify, remove, and prevent barriers to accessibility and disability inclusion!
