This project aims to capture the latest insights in the accessible built environment sector to share how inclusive design is being applied and scaled across Canada. This will be done by gathering the insights of participants to the Accessibility Professional Network Conference hosted by Rick Hansen Foundation. The conference program is designed to identify, remove, and prevent barriers to accessibility in the built environment. This will be done through targeted sessions, expert panels, and collaborative discussions. Conference participants will share knowledge, showcase innovation, and strengthen inclusive design practices in Canada.
