Have Your Say on Community-Based Research
Research is underway to identify barriers to accessible and community-based research guided by people with disabilities and Deaf persons.
The project is being undertaken by the Council of Canadians with Disabilities; IRIS – Institute for Research and Development on Inclusion and Society; Wavefront Centre for Communication Accessibility; Faculty of Law, University of Windsor; a Humans Right lawyer, and the Canadian Multicultural Disability Centre. An advisory committee of community members guides the project.

Chairperson's Update: January - CCD Has Another Date with the Supreme Court of Canada - International Air Transport Association, et al. V. Canadian Transportation Agency, et al.
Intervention Granted
On January 25, 2024, the Supreme Court of Canada gave CCD, the Public Interest Advocacy Centre and the National Pensioners Federation jointly permission to intervene in an important transportation case. The case was initiated by several international airlines which are challenging the legitimacy of passenger regulations proclaimed by the Attorney General of Canada and the Canadian Transportation Agency.
New Year's Greeting 2024
Looking back over the past year and looking forward to 2024, I thought I would step out of the strong circle we all at CCD have created together and appreciate the people of our intersectional, cross disability and Deaf communities.
