April marks Autism Acceptance Month, a time to move beyond awareness and toward meaningful inclusion, respect, and recognition of Autistic people in our communities.
To mark the beginning of the month, New Brunswick Autistics will be hosting a flag-raising ceremony at Fredericton City Hall.
📅 Date: April 1
🕛 Time: 12:00 PM (noon)
📍 Location: In front of Fredericton City Hall
While World Autism Day is April 2, this event will take place on April 1 due to scheduling at City Hall and to help us collectively kick off Autism Acceptance Month.
During the event, there will be:
- A few short speeches from community members
- The raising of the Autism Acceptance flag
- A moment to recognize the contributions and experiences of Autistic people in New Brunswick
After the ceremony, there will be an informal opportunity to connect and socialize for Autistic people and allies who would like to stay and spend some time together.
Allies are warmly welcome!
This event is open to the public, and we hope many community members will join us.
We have also invited local disability organizations to attend and help mark the beginning of Autism Acceptance Month.
We hope this gathering brings people together to celebrate Autistic voices, community, and inclusion.
Please join us on April 1 at noon.
Hosted by New Brunswick Autistics

Le mois d’avril marque le Mois de l’acceptation de l’autisme, un moment pour aller au-delà de la simple sensibilisation et mettre de l’avant l’inclusion, le respect et la reconnaissance des personnes Autistes dans nos communautés.
Pour souligner le début du mois, Autistes du Nouveau-Brunswick organise une cérémonie de lever du drapeau à l’Hôtel de ville de Fredericton.
📅 Date : 1er avril
🕛 Heure : 12 h (midi)
📍 Lieu : Devant l’Hôtel de ville de Fredericton
Bien que la Journée mondiale de l’autisme ait lieu le 2 avril, cet événement se tiendra le 1er avril en raison de l’horaire à l’hôtel de ville et afin de lancer ensemble le Mois de l’acceptation de l’autisme.
Lors de l’événement, il y aura :
- Quelques courtes prises de parole de membres de la communauté
- Le lever du drapeau de l’acceptation de l’autisme
- Un moment pour reconnaître les contributions et les expériences des personnes Autistes au Nouveau-Brunswick
Après la cérémonie, il y aura également une occasion informelle d’échanger et de socialiser pour les personnes Autistes et les allié·e·s qui souhaitent rester un peu plus longtemps.
Les allié·e·s sont les bienvenu·e·s!
Cet événement est ouvert au public, et nous espérons que de nombreux membres de la communauté viendront se joindre à nous.
Nous avons également invité des organisations locales du milieu du handicap à se joindre à nous afin de marquer ensemble le début du Mois de l’acceptation de l’autisme.
Nous espérons que ce rassemblement permettra de célébrer les voix Autistes, de renforcer les liens communautaires et de promouvoir une société plus inclusive.
✨ Joignez-vous à nous le 1er avril à midi.
Organisé par Autistes du Nouveau-Brunswick
