With a federal election expected this Spring, Inclusion Canada and Elections Canada are co-hosting a 2-part webinar series. We want to make sure people with an intellectual disability and their families can get involved. Each webinar will focus on a different part of the election process and tools to make this process more accessible.

About Election Canada
Elections Canada’s mission is to ensure that Canadians can exercise their democratic rights to vote and be a candidate. Research shows that some electors, including youth, new Canadians, electors with disabilities and Indigenous electors, face barriers to participating in elections. These barriers can include not knowing the ways to register and vote, or how to work at an election or run as a candidate. Through the Inspire Democracy program, Elections Canada works with a network of partner organizations to share key information and hold workshops for people who face barriers to participating in elections.
About Inclusion Canada
Inclusion Canada is a national federation of people with an intellectual disability, their families, allies, and organizations working to advance the full inclusion and human rights of people with an intellectual disability. Inclusion Canada leads the way in building an inclusive Canada by strengthening families, defending rights, and transforming communities into places where everyone belongs.
