Be Part of Access Awareness Day

 

Celebrating inclusion
and accessibility

 

Here are some of the ways to celebrate
Access Awareness Day

 

Highlight success stories

Has your community put policies or actions in place
that have made it more accessible? Do you have a
story to share that may help to inspire others?

 

Recognize someone in your community

Is there someone in your community - an
individual, business or organization that deserves
recognition for going above and beyond in their
efforts to build increased awareness and
understanding about the needs of people with
disabilities? Use the email link at the bottom of the
page to let us know so that we can recognize their
efforts!

 

Help put your community on our map

Is your community or municipal council planning
an event or activity to celebrate Access Awareness
Day? Let us know more about the event that is
being planned and we will put your community on
our map so that we can all celebrate together!

Check out our resources

Over the years, SPARC BC has developed a number
of resources and reports which focus on ways to
promote increased accessibility and inclusion for
people with disabilities. Check out our resources
on the Resources and Publications page! Also feel
free to suggest other topics or resources that would
be useful to your community.

 

Measuring Up @ SPARC BC

In 2010, SPARC BC assumed responsibility for
managing the outreach and support for the
accessibility-related resources and materials
established under the 2010 Legacies Now
Measuring Up program. These resources are
available on the Measuring Up @ SPARC BC page.
