Keynote Speaker

Stephanie Cadieux

In May 2022, Stephanie Cadieux was appointed to a four-year term as Canada’s first Chief Accessibility Officer (CAO).  Before her appointment, she was a member of the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia for 13 years, from 2009 to 2022.

She is a member of the disability community and has used a wheelchair since the age of 18. Her lived experience gives her a deep understanding of the unnecessary barriers faced by people with disabilities and the cost of these barriers to our collective wellbeing.

Throughout her career, she has been a tireless advocate for increased accessibility.

She is a firm believer that as a society, we can no longer afford to accommodate inaccessibility and must challenge outdated mindsets and unconscious bias at every opportunity.
