The Town Hall will be hosted by the Honourable Carla Qualtrough, Minister of Employment, Workforce Development and Disability Inclusion, as part of the Government of Canada�s program in recognition of International Day of Persons with Disabilities 2022. We are inviting youth with lived experience (15-30 years old) to participate in this event.

This may either be done by completing the attached form or confirming in the registration email that the participant has read and accepts the terms outlined in the form. Please note the event will include American Sign Language, Langue des signes Qu�b�coise, captioning (English and French), and official language translation. As a matter of workplace safety for our interpreters and to ensure they can readily understand the speakers, all participants are required to use headsets or earbuds with microphones. Failure to do so will result in not being able to participate in the discussion. Should this not be feasible for accessibility or other reasons, participants must advise us upon registration so we may explore alternate arrangements. We appreciate your help in circulating this information to support youth participation in this event.
