As the International Day of Persons with Disabilities (IDPD) approaches on December 3rd, Centennial College reaffirms its commitment to accessibility and inclusion for all. Observed annually on December 3rd, IDPD was established by the United Nations (UN) thirty-two years ago in 1992. This significant day celebrates the valuable contributions and achievements of persons with disabilities in various fields and aims to promote the rights and well-being of approximately one billion persons with disabilities worldwide. The UN has declared the theme for 2025 to be “Fostering Disability Inclusive Societies for Advancing Social Progress”, it speaks to the social development and social integration. They are interrelated for persons with disabilities to take charge of their own lives. They must have equitable access to social, economic, cultural, and political opportunities that exist within society.
