Join us on Thursday, September 25 from 2:00 to 3:00 p.m. Eastern Time, for a webinar featuring Max Brault, accessibility consultant and disability activist.

Max was instrumental in creating the Accessible Canada Act. His new book “The Race to the Starting Line” tells the story of the Act, passed in 2019, which aims to create a barrier-free Canada by 2040 by addressing barriers in employment, infrastructure, and communication. For auditors examining progress on governments’ accessibility commitments, this event is a must.
