Community Engagement

There are opportunities for members of the University of Waterloo community to engage with the advancement of accessibility and disability inclusion across our campuses, including the work towards the proposed AODA Postsecondary Education Standards. Opportunities for consultation and community engagement with campus projects will be promoted to members of the Disability Affinity Program through email newsletters.

If you have any questions about community engagement opportunities or would like to promote your University of Waterloo community engagement opportunity, please contact aoda@uwaterloo.ca.

Community Engagement and Consultation Guide

Community engagement is vital to advancing accessibility and disability inclusion in our projects and processes. The Community Engagement and Consultation Guide provides information on how to engage persons with disabilities and persons from other equity-denied communities equitably.

Disability Affinity Program

The Disability Affinity Program is a space for University of Waterloo students, staff, and faculty to seek peer support, community, and collaboration. The Disability Affinity Program comprises the Student Disability Community Network, the Employee Disability Community Network, and the Accessibility Ally Network. 

Accessibility Feedback

As the Disability Inclusion Team works to reevaluate the best ways to engage with the disability community and accessibility allies, the University of Waterloo remains committed to seeking feedback and consulting with persons with disabilities on campus-wide initiatives. If you have any accessibility feedback, please Contact Us.
