Adults Living with Disabilities
For adults living with disabilities, creating awareness and access to education often represents an opportunity to overcome unique barriers. In partnership with Federal and Provincial funders, community organizations, and a host of partners, Ampere is helping to create programs, tools, and support, for employers, job seekers, and people living with disabilities in rural and remote regions.
People in rural and remote communities face additional challenges with reduced or no access to:
1
public infrastructure
2
public transportation
3
healthcare facilities
4
educational opportunities
For adults living with disabilities in these communities, creating awareness and programs around accessibility is more than just a stepping stone—it’s a gateway to empowerment, connection, and a true sense of belonging.
At Ampere, we partner with community organizations to co-create inclusive programs and accessible spaces where everyone feels welcome and supported. Through these collaborations and our own dedicated initiatives, we’re helping to shape a Canadian economy where people living with disabilities are not only included, but celebrated as essential contributors.

Alternate format materials will be available in Inuktut, French, and English languages and in both digital and print formats. While the main focus is on Nunavut, Yukon, the Northwest Territories, Nunavik, Nunatsiavut, and other remote areas in Canada, the materials will be available to all Canadians with print disabilities.
Share your experience accessing accessible reading resources and the formats you’d like to see in your communities.
