Standard recommendations

The Accessibility Advisory Board established the Information and Communication Standard Development Committee to help the board make recommendations on the content and implementation of an accessibility standard in information and communication. Committee members included representatives from disability organizations, impacted sectors and government. The majority of committee members identified as having a disability.

The recommendations will be used to prepare Nova Scotia's information and communication accessibility standard.
