On May 15 NAIT shuttered its Captioning and Court Reporting program, which means that as of spring 2026 here will be no new graduates to become CART captioners —this is the only program of its kind in Canada and a huge loss for accessibility!

Sheri Byrne-Haber's "Giving A Damn About Accessibility" has great tips on how to deal with people who challenge or dismiss the need for accessibility.

Individuals working on web accessibility can only do so much on their own, so get accessibility on the radar of organization managers. Leadership should demonstrate and enforce a commitment to accessibility, as it should be a team responsibility, rather than just yours alone.

For the interests of Canadians with disabilities to be namelessly subsumed under a broader ministerial mandate demonstrates an astonishing lack of commitment to a diverse and inclusive Canada, clearly flagging accessibility as non-priority for the federal government. #accessibility

Profound disappointment once again at the absence of a dedicated focus on Canadians with disabilities within the new Federal Cabinet. This bolsters the reality that our community is not only left behind but increasingly ignored altogether.

Félicitations à Mark Carney et aux libérales! Nous espérons que le nouveau gouvernement veillera à ce que l’accessibilité ne soient pas laissées pour compte. Un ministère du Cabinet consacré aux personnes handicapées sera une première étape positive pour démontrer l’engagement envers l’inclusion.

Congratulations to Mark Carney and the Liberals! All of us at the Fund are hopeful that the new government will ensure that people with disabilities are not left behind. A Cabinet dedicated to accessibility will be a positive first step in demonstrating commitment to Equity, Diversity and Inclusion.

The National Disability Network calls on Parliament to improve the Canada Disability Benefit (CDB). The CDB must be increased to truly address poverty for people with disabilities. Join us in urging Parliament to ensure the CDB provides support for people with disabilities: youtu.be/4GW08_xGOgY?...
