Virtual Town Hall on Accessibility with Yazmine Laroche

Tremendous work is underway across government to remove barriers to accessibility and disability inclusion. The recent Speech from the Throne signals the Government of Canada's commitment to inclusion and employment for equity-seeking groups, with specific attention to persons with disabilities.

At this virtual town hall, hear directly from Yazmine Laroche, Deputy Minister of Public Service Accessibility, about progress in implementing Nothing Without Us, the government's new accessibility strategy for the Public Service of Canada.

You will have a chance to share your experiences, ideas and opportunities for improving accessibility and disability inclusion to help inform the road ahead. You can submit your questions in advance of the town hall at accessibility.accessibilite@tbs-sct.gc.ca until October 9, 2020. Questions and comments will also be taken live during the town hall.
