Two people are greeting each other with a clasped handshake: one person uses a prosthetic leg and the other is seated in a wheelchair. The text reads, “National Accessibility Week, May 31 to June 6, 2026” and “Together, let’s build a more accessible and inclusive Canada.” The visual ends with the Canada Wordmark.
