As Canada’s second largest research and technology organization, the Saskatchewan Research Council (SRC) is committed to fostering accessibility and inclusivity for both employees and the public.
The Accessible Saskatchewan Act, which came into effect on December 3, 2023, aims to improve accessibility across the province by identifying, removing and preventing barriers in the workplace. Under this legislation, public sector bodies are required to develop and publicly release an accessibility plan by December 3, 2025.
To develop its Accessibility Plan, SRC recently surveyed employees to better understand how it can make its workplace more accessible. Over 330 employees shared their valuable feedback, which has played a key role in shaping this plan.
Accessibility Goals and Actions
This plan outlines the actions that SRC will prioritize over the next three years (2025-2028) to remove accessibility barriers.
- Goal 1: Provide employees with accessibility resources to foster a more informed workplace through a centralized Accessibility Resource Centre on SRC’s internal employee website.
- Goal 2: Ensure SRC facilities are safe and accessible to all employees and the public.
- Goal 3: Ensure all internal and external communications are accessible, inclusive and usable by people of all abilities.
SRC remains dedicated to ongoing accessibility improvements. The organization will continue to gather employee feedback, conduct annual meetings to discuss future planning and review this plan every three years. Through these regular commitments, SRC aims to ensure its accessibility initiatives remain relevant, effective and responsive to the needs of all employees and the public.
