International Day of Persons with Disabilities

Each year,  December 3 is observed as the United Nations International Day of Persons with Disabilities. In preparation for this observance, join us on November 27, in A Foyer, from 11:30 am to 1:30 pm.

This gathering is intended as a space for advocacy, connection, and conversation with employees and students learning and reflecting on what meaningful inclusion for the disability community looks like at Langara. We’ll also be able to enjoy a hot chocolate bar - everyone is welcome!

To further engage with the themes of the United Nations International Day of Persons with Disabilities, we encourage you to watch this video and reflect on the questions it asks:

• Do we or do we not live in a world where we assist each other?
• What basic needs have been identified as social issues for which community support is provided?
• How do you, as an individual, position yourself when asking for or providing community support?
