Government Shares Commitment to an Accessible and Inclusive Province

Megan Patterson: — Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Today our government recognizes International Day of Persons With Disabilities. This is a day to celebrate the contributions of persons with disabilities and reaffirm our shared commitment to building an accessible and inclusive province for all.

Mr. Speaker, since 1992 this day has been recognized around the world to increase awareness and understanding of the issues experienced by persons with disabilities. On this day in 2023 our government passed The Accessible Saskatchewan Act. Since then we’ve seen the formation of the accessibility advisory group and the release of the Government of Saskatchewan’s first accessibility plan.

This year marks another important step forward as the public sector releases their own accessibility plans. These plans outline how the public sector will identify, remove, and prevent barriers in their workplaces, programs, and services under the Saskatchewan Accessibility Act.

Mr. Speaker, progress toward inclusion is a shared responsibility that this government takes seriously. I look forward to the collective work ahead as we all continue to work towards creating a province where everyone can fully participate and feel a true sense of belonging. Thank you.
