In alignment with the Accessible BC Act, UBC is working to meaningfully engage and consult with the UBC disability community on barriers to accessibility and to develop an accessibility plan.
The work of developing, implementing and evaluating UBC’s Accessibility Plan connects into UBC’s Strategic Equity and Anti-racism (StEAR) Framework and Roadmap for Change and will help identify initiatives for priority attention.
