Advancing the Inclusion of Persons with Disabilities 2006. Government of Canada’s fourth comprehensive report on disability in Canada.
Advancing the Inclusion of Persons with Disabilities 2006 is the Government of Canada’s fourth comprehensive progress report on disability in Canada. In providing this report, the Government hopes to help Canadians better understand the answers to four related questions: What does inclusion mean, and what are its key elements? How close is Canada to fully including persons with disabilities in society? How can progress toward inclusion be measured? How does the Government of Canada help advance inclusion? To help answer these questions, Advancing Inclusion 2006 presents information about Canadians with disabilities, their families, the challenges they face in fully participating in Canadian society, and Government of Canada policies, programs and initiatives that address these challenges. The report includes the actual report in three formats (28 pages in .pdf) and an Inventory of federal programs and initiatives related to disability.
