Quebec Week for Persons with Disabilities June 1 to June 7
June 1 to 7 is the Semaine québécoise des personnes handicapées (Quebec Week for Persons with Disabilities). This event highlights the importance of taking action to improve the social participation of people with disabilities.
Did you know that nearly 21% of the Quebec population aged 15 and over live with a disability, according to the 2022 Canadian Disability Survey? Our preconceived ideas, fear of doing the wrong thing and lack of knowledge can prevent us from taking action towards people with disabilities. By moving beyond those limits, we act as an agent of change.
Take the quiz (in French only) to better understand the situation of disabled people around you. We are all unique and worthy!
