The gathering — to be livestreamed online as well — will offer a window into Dal's progress towards its accessibility goals and include a flag raising on the Studley Quad. Learn more about this and other activities planned for the week. 

Today also marks the return of What It's Like, a web series that provides members of the Dal community an opportunity to share their experiences living with a disability.
