OpportunityBarrhaven nominations for the Accessible Ottawa Award close September 2
The signal
Nominations for the 2026 Accessible Ottawa Award are open to Ottawa businesses, organizations or residents until September 2 at 11:59 p.m. The award recognizes work removing barriers and advancing accessibility.

The opportunity
The opportunity is a dated deadline. Anyone who wants to nominate an Ottawa business, organization or resident for accessibility work has a fixed cut-off to work back from.
Why
The deadline is exact, down to the time of day, so a nomination can be scheduled rather than left to memory.
The eligibility is broad. Businesses, organizations and residents can all be nominated, which means a local operator can nominate someone else as easily as be nominated.
The Bugle is reporting the deadline and the eligibility as published. It makes no claim that any particular business qualifies or would win.
What you could do
If you're starting out
- Read the City of Ottawa Accessibility Office's own nomination page before the September 2 deadline to see what it asks for.
- Set a reminder several days before September 2 if you intend to submit anything.
If you're already in the space
- Decide by mid-August whether there is someone locally whose accessibility work you want to nominate.
- Gather the details a nomination form asks for in one place rather than at the deadline.
