Launching 4 Public Workshops:

In Spring of 2023, CAN is launching workshops on environmental justice and disability, neurodivergence, neurodivergence at work, disability at work, and a Queer + Trans quiz workshop. We are excited to continue to educate about life with disability and other intersecting identities. We look forward to continuing to expand our reach throughout Turtle Island (colonially known as North America).

CAN also continues to advise on disability and accessibility related projects, facilitate sessions, and do community outreach and building.

“I am so grateful to have witnessed the work of Creating Accessible Neighbourhoods – it is an incredibly necessary organization that is transforming the way we think about accessibility and disability justice in Vancouver and beyond. Every business, organization and community can benefit from the important work they are doing to change systems, communities and organizational culture. CAN’s work serves to eliminate barriers to access in a way that is approachable, inclusive and sustainable. I have had the pleasure of working directly with Heather to bring some visionary projects to life and am constantly inspired by their patience, wisdom, integrity and passion for this important work.”
