À l'occasion de la Journée internationale des personnes handicapées, nous rendons hommage aux personnes handicapées ainsi qu'à leurs alliés et aux organisations qui les soutiennent et œuvrent à leurs côtés pour éliminer les obstacles à leur pleine inclusion et à l'égalité.

On International Day of Persons with Disabilities we honour those living with disabilities and the allies and organizations who support and work alongside to remove barriers to full inclusion and equitality. Read disability memoirs published in the last year celalibrary.ca/2025_Diability_Memoirs
