Bâtir un Canada accessible et inclusif

Le moi de mai est le mois des semences pour de nombreux Canadiens qui s’activent dans leurs jardins afin de récolter plus tard le fruit de leur labeur. Le CCD sème aussi….des graines de changement. Mais contrairement aux fleurs et légumes des fervents jardiniers, il lui faut souvent plus d’une saison pour obtenir de bonnes récoltes.

Building An Accessible and Inclusive Canada

In May, many Canadians are out in their gardens planting seeds so that they will have produce to harvest later on in the year. Like these avid gardeners, CCD also plants seeds—seeds of change. Unlike vegetable and flower seeds, the seeds that CCD plants often take more than a season to show results. This month, we at CCD have been nurturing some issues—data collection, disability income, immigration, accessible voting, and access to technology—which are taking a long time to yield robust results.
