Year 1 Progress Report

Year 1 Progress Report Since publishing its Accessibility Action Plan on November 2, 2022, ACOA has made progress against its objectives. It has made great strides, in particular, when it comes to Objectives 1 (employment), 2.1 (infrastructure) and 4 (communications other than ICT). ACOA has also worked to create a culture over the past year where employees recognize the importance of eliminating systemic barriers and where they understand how our differences make us better as a team. The Accessibility Action Plan is being promoted to all staff as is the feedback form, on our intranet (Rendezvous), with the objective of gathering useful information on how we can continue to make progress on our plan. Our Accessibility Coordinator, Cynthia Shannon, will be completing the Passport Facilitator training early in the new year, which will allow us to offer information sessions and workshops to managers and other employees about the GC Workplace Accessibility Passport. A lot was learned over the past year. By continuing to work together, ACOA will achieve its goals to ensure a barrier-free organization. 2023-12-14 Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency open-ouvert@tbs-sct.gc.ca Education and TrainingHealth and SafetyInformation and CommunicationsPersonsProcessesaccessibilityreportannual Year 1 Progress ReportHTML https://www.canada.ca/en/atlantic-canada-opportunities/corporate/transparency/accessibleplan/year-one-progress-report.html
