The NWT Disabilities Council is committed to advocating for impactful policy change to strengthen our communities, increase diversity, and improve the lives of persons and families living with disability in the Northwest Territories.
While the challenges facing persons with disabilities are multifaceted and numerous, the NWT Disabilities Council has released three priority action items that we will be focusing on as an organization during the 19th Legislative Assembly. These three priority items address some of the most complex issues facing persons with disabilities in the territory, particularly those facing intersectional barriers including poverty, colonization, and social marginalization.
Our organization will be focusing our political efforts in working diligently over the next four years to drive change and reform in these areas. We encourage public dialogue about these issues and that you bring these forward to your elected representatives.
