Title of event: Countering Policy Exclusions: Canada, disability, and international commitments

Countering Policy Exclusions: Canada, disability, and international commitments

Canada has signed and ratified key international agreements including on disability, Indigenous rights, race, the environment, economic and social rights and others. Reports from civil society organizations and researchers suggest that the implementation of these agreements is only partial, resulting in fewer supports and services for people with disabilities in Canada and abroad, and more people becoming disabled. This panel of civil society leaders and researchers will identify key implementation gaps and their implications for people with disabilities.
