Accessible Canada Act Survey

Accessible Canada Act - Survey in Advance of October 21, 2019 Federal Election

Introduction 

Thank you for taking part in the Accessible Canada Act Survey, created by Reena and Holland Bloorview, and promoted by Accessible Media Inc.

On September 25, 2019, Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Hospital and Reena ran an Education Update and Candidate Roundtable highlighting the unanimous passage of Bill C-81, the Accessible Canada Act (ACA).

The session educated the attendees on the importance of the ACA, its potential outcomes and provided an opportunity to hear directly from candidates on their parties’ implementation strategies if elected to government. 

We are using this survey to determine if more education on the ACA is needed nationally. We would also like to provide all parties running in the October 21, 2019 Federal Election with a public perspective on how to improve the Accessible Canada Act.
