#DYK that the annual observance of the International Day of Persons with Disabilities on December 3rd was proclaimed in 1992 by the United Nations General Assembly? According to the United Nations this day aims to promote an understanding of disability issues and mobilize support for the dignity, rights and well-being of persons with disabilities. With this in mind, we encourage you to check out our “Co-operatives Serving Persons With Disabilities” report, which was created in collaboration with Community Researchers. It provides an overview of co-operatives serving persons with disabilities or led by persons with disabilities in Canada (not including home care). You can find the report here: https://ow.ly/YbSO50TQYJn

All pre-registered international delegates will have their badges delivered to them at their designated hotels by 07.30 on 25 November.
