CBC/Radio-Canada would like to hear from Canadians concerning accessibility

CBC/Radio-Canada is developing a National Accessibility Plan and wants to hear from Canadians with disabilities to better understand their needs and priorities, as well as their expectations of the public broadcaster.

One in five Canadians identifies as having a disability. The barriers faced may be architectural, informational, behavioural, technological, or policy-based in nature. CBC/Radio-Canada would like to hear opinions, among other topics, about:

• the representation of persons with disabilities in the media;
• the barriers faced when consuming CBC/Radio Canada content;
• ways of improving the broadcaster’s relationships with different communities.

Some in-person and virtual consultations have already taken place across the country. A virtual consultation in English will take place in Montreal on January 19 from noon to 1:30 p.m. (registration required).

Individuals may also provide their opinions by completing an online survey, or by communicating via phone, mail, email or social media at any time. The consultation is open until January 31, 2022. Visit cbc.radio-canada.ca/accessibility for all the information.
