SaskAbilities Celebrates International Day of Persons with Disabilities

Each June in Nipawin, the local Special Olympics group has their annual golf wind up at Evergreen Golf Course. In 2023 Golf Canada and Golf Saskatchewan happened to be on hand for the day.

On Dec. 3, SaskAbilities proudly joins individuals and organizations worldwide in celebrating the International Day of Persons with Disabilities (IDPD).

This year’s theme, “Amplifying the Leadership of Persons with Disabilities for an Inclusive and Sustainable Future,” highlights the critical role that individuals experiencing disability play in creating a better, more equitable world for everyone.

For nearly 75 years, SaskAbilities has remained committed to breaking down barriers and creating opportunities through programs and services that serve over 60,000 individuals each year.

This year, we continue to focus on amplifying the voices and leadership of individuals experiencing disability and celebrating their achievements. We are reminded that empowering individuals experiencing disability to lead is not only a matter of equality but is essential for building a sustainable future that benefits everyone.

How to Get Involved:

o Highlight and celebrate the leadership of individuals experiencing disability in your community.
o Support programs and initiatives that empower individuals of all abilities.
o Join SaskAbilities in raising awareness and fostering action to ensure that the voices of individuals experiencing disability are heard, valued, and included in all conversations about building a better future.

On this day and every day, let’s work together to make the world a more inclusive, accessible, and sustainable place for everyone.
