Accessible Canada

The objectives of the National AccessAbility Week 2024 Call for Proposals are to provide funding to organizations that will increase awareness through National AccessAbility Week (NAAW) activities that:

• improve understanding and knowledge of Canadians on accessibility and disability inclusion
• reduce stigma and attitudinal barriers towards persons with disabilities
• share best practices and lessons learned related to NAAW activities within the disability community

The objective of this CFP is to provide funding to organizations that aim to:

1. build capacity within the disability community to continue to engage on the implementation of the Accessible Canada Act (ACA) and its regulations. This will include:
   • enhancing leadership by the Canadian disability community to participate in the implementation of the Accessible Canada Act (ACA) and its regulations, and to contribute to accessibility policy and programming
   • mobilizing and sharing knowledge within the disability community by building evidence through evaluation of projects developed by the disability community
2. foster multi-sectoral and diverse partnerships to support innovation in accessibility, including:
   • joining diverse partners from the disability community and federally and non-federally regulated sectors (such as banking, education, health care) to support projects that lead to more accessible/inclusively-designed environments, spaces, programs and services within federally regulated and non-federally regulated entities
   • enabling expansion of the reach of projects that have positive results to more persons within the disability and other communities as well as other settings such as workplaces
   • promoting approaches (such as designing and developing inclusive spaces, services and programs that can be integrated into workplaces, educational, health and other settings) that aim to affect long-term, system-wide change, which can be sustained beyond federal funding
