Accessibility

Accessibility at CICS

At CICS, we are determined to being accessible to serve and support the Canadian population, which includes people with disabilities. We want to minimize barriers for all—for our employees, our clients, the federal, provincial, and territorial governments’ representatives who attend our conferences, and the Canadian public.

In 2022, we undertook an organization-wide evaluation to identify accessibility barriers. The following Accessibility Plan provides a summary of the evaluation process and our commitments to address the accessibility barriers that were identified.

CICS has produced a full version of the plan, as well as a simplified easy read version.  Both documents have been written in plain language, to be as clear, concise, and appropriate as possible for the intended audience. Additional details on CICS’s mandate, program and services are available on our website at www.scics.ca.
