About the event
Join us at Accessibility in the City: A Rally for Accessibility Celebration & Awareness
Saturday, March 16, 2024 11AM - 2PM Vancouver Art Gallery South Plaza - 800 Robson Street
Imagine a vibrant accessibility rally in the heart of the city, celebrating diversity and fostering connection among disabled individuals and organizations who serve people with disabilities. With engaging guest speakers and inclusive entertainment, this event aims to create a supportive community and raise awareness about the importance of accessibility in all its forms.
Physical, communication, information, attitudinal, technological, transportation, policy, economic, environmental, cultural, social, systemic…there are so many accessibility barriers out there that affect people in so many ways. Coming together on March 16th to unite our voices is a powerful way to raise awareness.
Members of organizations within the human rights sector from across BC will be speaking to share about the successes and challenges of accessibility within our communities and why accessibility is so important. All community members are welcome to attend the rally to learn more about accessibility or show support as an ally.
Accessibility is inclusion!
Bring an umbrella...bring a folding chair...bring your lunch...bring a poster sign...come and stay a while! Show your support of accessibility rights or come to learn more about it! March 16th 11am-2pm on Robson Street in front of the Art Gallery.
This is an outdoor event.
Current provincial mask guidelines in BC are as follows: Wearing a mask is a personal choice. Masks are encouraged, but not required
