Indigenous Disability Canada-Research First Nations Accessibility Standards: A Path Forward to Inclusion

Indigenous Disability Canada is engaging with First Nations around accessibility and the Accessible Canada Act

Accessible Housing – Inclusive First Nations

Accessible housing is important in every community. It is especially important in First Nations communities, where longstanding infrastructure gaps and systemic barriers can make it difficult for members to remain close to family, land, and culture.

Indigenous Disability Canada is engaging with First Nations communities, government representatives, and other key informants to better understand current housing conditions, accessibility needs, barriers, and promising practices on reserve. The goal is to gather insights that can help inform the future development of accessible housing standards.

Check out this great opportunity from Innovation 7!

On behalf of the federal government, Innovation 7 has been hired to conduct research into the potential for developing a First Nations Accessibility Assessor Training Program.

Innovation 7 is organizing discussion circles with perspective holders from across Canada to discuss the potential of developing such a program and what key areas of focus should be included. The voices and stories of those with lived experience are important to understand the accessibility barriers and opportunities to improve the inclusion of First Nations people in their communities.

Proposed areas of discussion include:

- Opportunities and challenges faced in communities by members with restricted accessibility.

- Need for First Nations-led accessibility assessments to help identify accessibility barriers in First Nation communities.

- Key areas that should be included in a First Nations accessibility assessment program.

- Prioritizing First Nations adult learning principles that should guide the design and delivery of the program.
