Disability, race, gender, and diverse intersecting communities: Pathways towards social justice

June 2, 2022, 2:00 pm - 3:30 pm

A group of people having a discussion outdoor.

Join the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) Office and our partners for an engaging panel dialogue on race, disability and the impacts of COVID-19.

We discuss the inequities experienced by diverse disability communities and suggest pathways forward for community and post-secondary education.
