Accessible Canada – National AccessAbility Week Funding

Deadline: 17 July 2024

The Employment and Social Development Canada calls for proposals to support projects that increase awareness through National Accessibility Week (NAAW) to improve understanding and knowledge of Canadians on accessibility and disability inclusion, reduce stigma and attitudinal barriers towards persons with disabilities, and share best practices and lessons learned related to NAAW activities within the disability community.

National AccessAbility Week (NAAW) takes place every year starting on the last Sunday in May. It is an opportunity to celebrate the valuable contributions of Canadians with disabilities. It is also a time to recognize the efforts of individuals, communities and workplaces that are actively working to remove barriers to accessibility and inclusion. The NAAW stream under the Social Development Partnerships Program – Disability Component (SDPP-D) provides grant funding to projects across Canada. These projects raise awareness of the importance of accessibility and disability inclusion in different sectors and communities.

Priorities
