Access to Justice Position Statement

July 31 2025 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm PDT

Did you know that people with an intellectual disability face significant barriers when interacting with the justice system?

Inclusion Canada has developed a position statement on access to justice. On Thursday, July 31st from 3-4 PM EST, we’ll be hosting a webinar to review our priorities, our calls to action, and our vision for an inclusive justice system.

Join us, learn from self-advocates, family members, and legal professionals, and prepare to be part of the solution.

Live French interpretation and ASL/LSQ will be available during the webinar.
