Accessibility in Nova Scotia

Accessibility is a human right. Creating an accessible province for people with disabilities means more than building ramps and accessible restrooms. It calls for a change in overall attitudes, where everyone is included in all aspects of our society. People with diverse perspectives and experiences make our province stronger.

This is our vision for the future — and change is happening now across Nova Scotia. We’re identifying and removing barriers to inclusion and access in our communities, organizations, schools, workplaces and everyday lives.

Access includes everyone is a public awareness campaign about how accessibility fosters inclusion for Nova Scotians with disabilities. The campaign aims to increase awareness that accessibility is a human right and about the barriers that prevent Nova Scotians with disabilities from participating in everyday life – at school, work, home and in the community.

The campaign includes videos of three Nova Scotians with disabilities, as well as posters, social media ads and photographs. Meet one of these Nova Scotians, Kaylie, and check out related campaign materials by searching our Resource Hub.
