    National AccessAbility Week: Forward Together

    Sharing is SO MUCH APPRECIATED!

    Collingwood, ON [22 May 2024] – National AccessAbility Week is celebrated across Canada from May 26 to June 1. A time to honour the valuable contributions and leadership of persons with disabilities, to recognize the work undertaken to remove barriers, and to take continued action to make communities more accessible.

    The theme for National AccessAbility Week 2024 is Forward Together: Accessibility and Inclusion for All. The 2024 theme highlights the need for collective action to build barrier-free communities.

    Please consider joining the Accessibility Advisory Committee, Council, and local organizations on Friday, May 24th at 4:00 p.m. at the community flagpole to raise the National AccessAbility Week (NAAW) flag.

    Consider wearing a red shirt on Wednesday, May 29th for Red Shirt Day, an initiative introduced by Easter Seals with the goal of creating a visible display of solidarity in our collective work to build a fully accessible and inclusive society.

    The Town of Collingwood is committed to providing persons of all abilities consistent opportunity and access to all Town goods, services, and facilities while ensuring that policies, procedures, and practices are provided in a timely manner and address integration, independence, dignity, and equal opportunity.

    We all benefit when we build a more accessible community that enables everyone to fully participate and contribute.
