Accessible Canada Act – Social Life

Good morning everyone,

I wanted to share this survey with you all to make sure you are aware of this ongoing survey that will make a difference toward establishing standards for Accessible Canada Act, in terms of social life. As a linguistic and cultural minority group, we have the power to address access barriers across multi-systems we continue to face on a daily basis. This is our opportunity to share our voice and experience so that folks involved in the decision making process on behalf of us are aware of social barriers and highlight areas of importance that needs to be addressed for the majority, if not all, of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing community across Canada.

Copied and pasted from the survey’s introduction page.

ASL Version available. Note: It says that it would take an hour to complete. It took me about 15 minutes to complete 85 questions. The amount of questions depend on your response to each question.
