We’re Here to Break Barriers and Open Doors
The Council for Persons with Disabilities (CPD) advocates for equal rights and inclusion for people with disabilities in Peterborough/Nogojiwanong. We work to raise awareness, improve services, and create opportunities that help individuals live full, independent lives.
By collaborating with the city, schools, and businesses, we push for accessible services and policies that make a real difference in people’s everyday experiences.
Advocating for Accessibility, Inclusivity, and Awareness
We offer programs that challenge barriers, shift mindsets, and open opportunities for people with disabilities.

We evaluate business spaces and services from a cross-accessible perspective, helping you create environments that are welcoming and accessible to everyone. Our goal is to make sure all your customers can navigate your facilities with ease.
We assess the accessibility of websites and documents for businesses and organizations, so they’re usable by people of all abilities. From digital to print, we help make communication more inclusive for everyone.
