Welcome to the

Canadian Centre on Disability Studies

Our Mission

The Canadian Centre on Disability Studies is a consumer-directed, university affiliated centre dedicated to research, education and information dissemination on disability issues.

We are guided by the philosophies of independent living and community living, emphasizing human rights,  self-determination, interdependence, equality, a cross-disability focus, and full and valued participation of all citizens in the community.

The CCDS is committed to fostering a spirit of collaboration between the disability and academic communities, and along with the government and private sectors to work toward initiatives of mutual concern and benefit.  

Through our activities we promote full and equal participation of people with disabilities in all aspects of society.

George Dyck president of CCDS passed away on June 27, 2008
