On 11 July 2019, the Accessible Canada Act (Bill C-81) came into force. The Act seeks to make Canada barrier-free by 1 January 2040.
The Act also requires federally regulated entities to develop an Accessibility Action Plan to identify, remove, and prevent accessibility barriers under federal jurisdiction in the following priority areas:
employment
the built environment (buildings and public spaces)
information and communication technologies
communication, other than information and communication technologies
the procurement of goods, services and facilities
the design and delivery of programs and services
transportation
VAC’s Accessibility Action Plan 2022-2025 (the Plan) identifies several actions to take to prevent and remove accessibility barriers in these priority areas. The Plan also identifies actions that will support the Department in advancing its accessibility culture shift.
VAC is proud to have released its first ever Accessibility Progress Report 2023, which highlights achievements since the Plan was implemented in 2022.
This Accessibility Progress Report 2024 does not cover the entire calendar year, given the time that was required to have the Report approved and published. VAC’s Accessibility Progress Report 2024 will touch on areas such as internal and external consultations, and organizational culture shift. Any progress made in 2024 that is not addressed in this Report will be carried over and covered in the Accessibility Action Plan 2025-2028.
As the Department moves forward on its journey to become barrier-free, we will embrace the opportunity to report back annually on progress, and to strengthen our performance measurement capacity. Through updated accessibility action plans and progress reports, the Department will hold itself accountable.
