CAN Summit 2019

CAN Summit 2019

This Summit Graphic Recording is a visual representation of the ideas and themes that were generated at the Canadian Accessibility Network Summit in 2019. This image is framed by outer borders consisting of the logos from the supporting partners of the Canadian Accessibility Network. Moving inward, the next border is an open blue and red line that ends in feathered arrows which point to the words: “connect, engage, act!!!” Inside this last rectangle are the illustrations that represent the greater themes of the summit. These themes are mostly represented in words with the occasional doodle. The word CAN is at the very centre with a large jagged bubble around it with lines shooting out that seem to connect the bubble to all the thoughts represented in the image. The main themes represented in the image show sharing, creating spaces and platforms for sharing to happen. It also shows inclusivity in all aspects, intersectionality, and innovation. The image reflects thoughts through words like “nothing about us, without us,” “having a place where everyone can come together,” encouraging everyone to share best practices, and to adapt, not accommodate. Below this graphic recording are all the logos of CAN's Partner Organizations.

On the eve of the International Day of Persons with Disabilities, we introduced CAN (the Canadian Accessibility Network); the new Pan-Canadian, multi-sectoral community that is advancing accessibility in Canada and beyond.

This single-day immersive event brought together present and future CAN partners to engage in thought provoking idea-sharing forums to yield those collective moments of inspiration that tackle barriers to accessibility and create change.
