Reducing Barriers to Inclusive Access to Education
The Reducing Barriers to Inclusive Access Project Working Group (PWG) is a pan-Canadian group that has co-created a joint project to share initiatives that are reducing barriers to inclusive access on campus and in the community. By sharing information on initiatives that are reducing barriers to inclusive access across Canada on a web-based platform, the group hopes that this will help raise awareness of the resources, initiatives and support available to dismantle the barriers that other individuals and/or groups encounter.

UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network (SDSN) – Canada
CICan became a member of SDSN Canada in June 2019 as part of our commitment to scaling up the Canadian college and institute sector’s contributions to the SDGs. We encourage all our member institutions to join this global network of post-secondary stakeholders committed to a just, inclusive and sustainable future.

CICan joined Alliance 2030 in February 2020 to engage with other Canadian stakeholders working towards achieving Canada’s SDG ambitions. Alliance 2030 is a national network of organizations, institutions, and individuals committed to achieving the 17 SDGs by the year 2030. We believe these goals can be accomplished both in Canada and abroad by working creatively and collaboratively at both the local and global level.
