Becoming more accessible means making a difference in three focus areas:

1 Employee Experience

Improving the inclusion and experience of employees with disabilities at all levels of the organization.

2 Digital Accessibility

Proactively removing barriers throughout our content and platforms.

3 Content Creation

Strengthening the representation of people and creators with disabilities and deepen industry partnerships.

To break down barriers, our actions are organized into six strategic objectives:

Employment

We modernized how we manage accommodations across CBC/Radio-Canada to cultivate a more inclusive, accessible and sustainable workplace environment.

Built Environment

Our goal is to make our facilities in every province and territory more accessible and welcoming for both our employees and the broader public we serve.

Information and Communication Technologies

We will proactively reduce barriers across our digital platforms by building technical expertise and leveraging emerging technologies.

Communication

Strengthen community relations with disability organizations and disabled audiences.

Procurement

We updated criteria and requirements that ensure technological suppliers will deliver products and services more accessible to everyone.

Programs and Services

We have been working to increase the accessibility of all our content, as well as increase opportunities for creators with disabilities to share their stories.
