According to a 2022 Canadian Survey 27% of Canadians aged 15 and older have a disability that limits their daily activities. We have a unique opportunity right now, with so many new housing builds, to implement Universal Design!

Looking forward to giving the presentation I've been invited to give today to the @accessiblehousgnet.bsky.social about how smart green design also makes buildings and #housing accessible. There's nothing more #sustainable than #accessibility - demographics, durability, affordability, health, etc.

🌍 Many provinces and territories in Canada have yet to fully implement accessibility obligations and rights as laid out by the Convention. This lack of implementation leaves persons with disabilities, including First Nations, Inuit, and Métis people, without adequate access to crucial resources.

📚 The UNCRPD Committee major concern is the insufficient availability of experts in universal design and accessibility, both in public administration and the private sector. This gap in expertise continues to hinder the effective implementation of accessibility policies and practices.
