| Event Description |
This session features Measuring Up, a guide to assist communities in assessing and advancing common elements of access and inclusion issues, such as Support Services, Access to Information, Economic Participation and Community Participation. The Measuring Up framework recommends engaging a broad cross-section of community representatives in a dialogue process to effectively establish priorities and solutions to local access and inclusion issues. Focusing on the importance of dialogue, the Measuring Up experience will be described by members of a panel representing diverse communities. Participants will engage in an interactive forum demonstrating the importance of inclusive dialogue in achieving effective results and the adaptability of the guide to diverse structural, economic, cultural and other circumstances.
