Coordinated Accessibility Strategy Renewal
Dear Members of the ÐÓ°ÉÔ´´ Community,
ÐÓ°ÉÔ´´ University takes pride in being considered one of Canada’s most accessible universities. Since the launch of ÐÓ°ÉÔ´´â€™s Coordinated Accessibility Strategy (CAS) in June 2020, progress has been made on almost all of the 40 recommendations proposed in the strategy.
Notable examples include the launch of the , the development of , the creation of an accessible event guide, introducing , the creation of the accessibility commons, conducting physical campus audits, the creation of the researchers in accessibility network, the acclamation of ÐÓ°ÉÔ´´ University’s Accessibility Institute and the launch of a master’s level Collaborative Specialization in Accessibility.
Although there has been a great deal of progress, we acknowledge there is still work to be done. Over the next six months, we will be engaging with the entire community in a collaborative process to renew ÐÓ°ÉÔ´´â€™s Coordinated Accessibility Strategy. Members of the ÐÓ°ÉÔ´´ community are encouraged to provide feedback through our consultation website, attend one of the upcoming consultation sessions or email AccessibilityStrategy@carleton.ca.
We look forward to collaborating with you in the renewal of this strategy where, together, we can work towards creating a more accessible and inclusive world.
