REGINA — In recognition of Disability Pride Month, Ombudsman Saskatchewan has announced the creation of its new accessibility and inclusion unit.
According to a press release, the new unit supports the office's commitment to advancing accessibility in alignment with The Accessible Saskatchewan Act. Bringing together a team of professionals with expertise in accessibility, inclusion, Indigenous education and community engagement, the team will provide education and training, promote inclusive practices, help people better understand their rights, and contribute to reducing barriers and improving equitable access across the province, the office states.
“Disability Pride Month reminds us that accessibility is not simply about removing physical barriers — it is about creating systems where every person feels respected, heard and able to participate fully. Fairness is about ensuring that every process, every relationship and every outcome reflect and demonstrate inclusion, respect and equity,” Sharon Pratchler, ombudsman Saskatchewan.
