2024 National AccessAbility Week Celebration Dialogue

Mainland Community Services Society (MCSS) is thrilled to announce the 2024 National AccessAbility Week Dialogue titled “Intervening on Disability Discrimination: Best Practices for Community Leaders” In this year's event, we invite all accessibility stakeholders to be part of an experience-centered dialogue on disability justice in British Columbia. This year's event aims to serve as an open forum discussing accessibility issues pertinent to British Columbia while also fostering dialogue and innovative solutions to tackle the obstacles encountered by Persons Living with Disabilities.

Benefits for Participating Stakeholder Organizations:

By engaging in this dialogue, organizations stand to gain:

• Deeper insights into equity, power dynamics, ableism, disability justice, and accessibility.
• Increased motivation to foster collective solidarity for accessibility within their communities.
• Enhanced public relations and leadership skills to garner support for accessibility initiatives.
• Opportunities for collaboration with peers to develop and disseminate initiatives tailored to Persons Living with Disabilities.
• A platform to showcase their community work across the province.
• Expanded networks and direct connections with funders and policymakers in the accessibility sector.

The dialogue is scheduled for May 30th, 2024, from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm at UBC Robson Square. This event is in-person only and welcomes up to 2 attendees per organization, with registration required.
