Today, three outstanding citizens and organizations were recognized by The City’s Advisory Committee on Accessibility (ACA) as recipients of the 2018 Accessibility Awards. The Accessibility Awards recognize citizens and organizations that are making Calgary more accessible for persons with disabilities. The awards were presented in today’s Council meeting by Mayor Naheed Nenshi.
“With the thoughtful guidance and recommendations Council receives from the Advisory Committee on Accessibility, we continue our work to make Calgary more inclusive with every Calgarian in mind,” said Mayor Naheed Nenshi. “The result of that hard work is a city where everyone fully enjoys and contributes to all this great city has to offer.”
“Today, we recognized the award recipients for their exceptional qualities and actions in supporting people with disabilities,” says Mayor Nenshi. “Each award recipient is doing vital work to ensure that Calgary is inclusive for all.”
The recipients were selected by an open nomination call of individuals, corporations, community groups, and organizations, in three award categories:
The awards presented to the recipients were created by artists from the In-Definite Arts Society, which has been a leader and innovator in Calgary’s arts and disabilities sector. The annual awards program started in 2006. Since then, 36 Calgarians have been recognized as part of The City of Calgary’s efforts to support people with disabilities.
