November is Indigenous Disability Awareness Month (IDAM), a time to celebrate the achievements and valuable social, economic and cultural contributions made by Indigenous persons with disabilities in Canada.

In 2015, Indigenous Disability Canada/British Columbia Aboriginal Network on Disability Society created Indigenous Disability Awareness Month to highlight the barriers facing Indigenous persons with disabilities.

Indigenous Disability Awareness Month is a time for reflection and action, raising awareness about the unique challenges faced by Indigenous individuals living with disabilities. It's an opportunity for all of us to learn more about the experiences of these communities and show our commitment to fostering a more inclusive and accessible society.
