COVID-19 Disability Advisory Group will continue to help guide Government action on disability inclusion

The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the long-standing barriers Canadians with disabilities have faced for decades. Since the start of the pandemic, many have faced higher costs in accessing food, medication, social services or health care. To ensure an inclusive approach to its pandemic response and overall decision-making, the Government of Canada created the COVID-19 Disability Advisory Group (CDAG) in April 2020.
