The Accessibility Commissioner of Canada's 2024-2025 Annual Report

This year marked a significant milestone on our journey to building a barrier-free Canada. For the first time, all federally regulated and government organizations were required to publish either an accessibility plan or a progress report. This provided our Office with more insight and understanding than ever before. We now have a much clearer picture of both the growing awareness of accessibility obligations and the progress being made to remove barriers and, equally important, the work that still lies ahead.
