Virtual Town Hall on Accessibility, Disability Inclusion, and Easing of COVID‑19 Restrictions

Since March 2020, our world and our workplaces have changed considerably due to the COVID‑19 pandemic. As restrictions change, the federal public service must ensure it fully considers accessibility for employees with a wide range of disabilities.

This event will be an opportunity to discuss the impacts of COVID‑19 on the physical and virtual workplace, share lessons learned and best practices, and highlight the unique challenges that continue to require our attention. We will also reiterate the importance of Nothing Without Us, the Accessibility Strategy for the Public Service, and how we can achieve disability inclusion in an ever-evolving work environment.
