We look forward to hosting this important celebration of accessibility wins from across B.C. Whether it’s creating accessible bus stops in Richmond, designing a fully accessible town square in Alert Bay, or creating accessible classrooms at post-secondary schools, there is a wealth of inspiring stories happening every day. We’re excited to share these important stories with you!

This event is free and open to the public. Register here.
