ACCESSIBILITY

Accessibility at the Canada Infrastructure Bank

We exist to make an impact that improves the lives of Canadians and are committed to creating an environment where all our employees, clients and stakeholders feel included with a joint purpose.

Guiding principles

We have established the following guiding principles to help us achieve our vision:

  • integrate accessibility and disability inclusion into our organizational diversity and inclusion (D&I) strategy
  • take deliberate action to create a barrier-free experience for persons with disabilities
  • embody the Government of Canada’s “Nothing without us” strategy by continuing to actively consult with persons with disabilities in key decisions and implementation of commitments within this plan
  • create a culture of persons with disability inclusion, by integrating accessibility into our day-to-day behaviours, and
  • raise awareness and increase education on the importance of accessibility and inclusion of persons with disabilities

Our Accessibility Plan is our commitment to creating a barrier-free experience for all persons with disabilities, including our employees, clients, suppliers and other stakeholders. The actions within this plan will help advance the CIB’s diversity and inclusion journey, by including accessibility and inclusion of persons with disabilities into everything we do.
