The Accessibility Directorate is pleased to launch the Accessibility First Voice Experts roster, and ask that you share this opportunity with your organization and networks.
Nova Scotians with disabilities are invited to sign up to provide their advice on accessibility projects, such as awareness activities, training and educational materials, and policy and program development.
Over the past few years, Nova Scotians with disabilities have provided advice on development of the Introduction to Disability and Introduction to Accessibility Barriers and Solutions webinars, among other projects. The Accessibility Directorate is interested in opening the opportunity to provide lived experience advice so any Nova Scotian with a disability can participate.
Nova Scotians with disabilities can sign up on the Access includes Everyone website. The sign up form includes a variety of questions, such as where the individual lives, age, gender, disability type, etc. These questions help to ensure a wide variety of perspectives are included in our work.
After signing up, individuals will receive invitations to participate in projects as they arise (depending on the number of projects underway). Honouraria will be provided for providing advice on projects, the amount will vary depending on the project and time involved.
We recognize and appreciate the lived experience and expertise of Nova Scotians with disabilities, and the importance of providing financial compensation for providing advice on these projects.
Please share this opportunity with your organization and networks, and print and display the attached poster or include this opportunity in your newsletter or other materials.
Please contact if you have any questions.
