Celebrations for this year’s National AccessAbility Week (NAAW) are going digital. Due to COVID-19, the team at Halifax-based non-profit, reachAbility, has turned their annual conference into an online festival that includes live workshops, speakers, presentations and more — open to everyone and at no cost.
NAAW celebrates and recognizes contributions made by persons with disabilities and those who are actively removing barriers for everyone in Canada.
Since COVID-19 put restrictions on public gatherings, staff at reachAbility decided to take NAAW 2020 to a fully accessible online format.
The digital conference will feature a speaker series featuring leaders in inclusion and accessibility from the arts to business, government to non-profit.
