This bill proclaims the month of July each year as Disability Pride Month in Ontario. The preamble notes that people with disabilities have historically faced ableism, exclusion, and discrimination in the province. It states that proclaiming July as Disability Pride Month recognizes the contributions of Ontarians with disabilities, acknowledges their place in society, and prioritizes listening to the disability community.
