People Before Systems: Saskatchewan’s Disability Strategy
Saskatchewan’s Disability Strategy – People Before Systems: Transforming the Experience of Disability in Saskatchewan – was presented to Government by the Citizen Consultation Team on June 22nd, 2015.
The 10-year Disability Strategy was created as a starting point for a journey to raise the profile of persons with disabilities, reduce stigma and to provide a roadmap to address many of the challenges persons with disabilities experience in our province.
Over the past decade, significant progress has been made across government to improve the lives of people with disabilities through programming and investment under the Disability Strategy and led to the implementation of The Accessible Saskatchewan Act in 2023 and the Government of Saskatchewan Accessibility Plan in 2024.
The Government of Saskatchewan is committed to enhancing the accessibility of its facilities, programs, and services. Government’s Accessibility Plan represents a comprehensive, government-wide approach aimed at removing and preventing barriers that individuals with disabilities may encounter when accessing government resources, fostering a more inclusive and fairer province for everyone.
The Disability Strategy will continue to serve as a foundation and guiding framework for improving disability supports and services in Saskatchewan.
