Our Mission:
The mission of the Canadian Access & Inclusion Project (CAIP) is to improve access and inclusion for people with disabilities in all aspects of Canadian society. We aim to do this by providing a diverse representation of relevant disability stakeholders to co-create key elements that will inform the development of relevant and behaviour-changing, federal accessibility legislation.
