National Accessibility Week Begins Today

National Accessibility Week is celebrated annually on the last Sunday of May and is an opportunity to celebrate accessibility and inclusion in our communities and workplaces. 

This is a great opportunity to take a proactive approach towards accessibility and inclusion, as an inclusive community is one which everyone can participate in. 

In light of National Accessibility Week, how can you recognize and uplift the contributions of community members who are working towards removing barriers to accessibility? 

Here are three ways which you can participate in accessibility on campus: 

1. Attend a Neurodiversity Meetup (all are welcome!).
2. Visit the Sensory Friendly Room located on the 3rd floor of the Taylor Family Digital Library next to the Student Success Centre .
3. Search the SU Clubs list for Inclusive and Accessibility-focused involvement opportunties.
