Episode Synopsis

Hi everyone!
Welcome to the pre-episode of “Why Access Matters.”
This episode published on Friday, May 27, 2022, 2 days before a very important week: National AccessAbility Week (NAAW) in Canada, which spans from May 29th to June 4th, 2022.
This year the theme for National AccessAbility Week is “Inclusive From the Start” and we profoundly believe that listening to the lived experiences of people with disabilities and how and why they consider accessibility a vital element of our society is one of the major steps to make it “Inclusive From the Start.”
In this pre-episode, Farshid Sadatsharifi is talking with Jolene MacDonald about “Why Access Matters,” what this podcast aims to cover, and what not to expect from it.
Stay tuned after the show for some selected words from some of our guest speakers!
