At Living Sky School Division (LSKYSD), we are committed to working toward ensuring that everyone can access our facilities, programs, and services without barriers.
The Accessible Saskatchewan Act (ASA) became law on December 3, 2023. This important legislation mandates that our school division develop an accessibility plan to identify, address, and prevent barriers for all students and community members. Our goal is to create a comprehensive and thoughtful approach to improving accessibility in education services and facilities, and we appreciate those who provided input to help shape our 2025-28 Accessibility Plan.
Over time, we are dedicated to systematically identifying, removing, and reducing these barriers within our division.

Importance of Accessibility Plans
Accessibility plans identify barriers and detail steps to improve accessibility. With approximately 29.8% of Saskatchewan's population over 15 identifying as having a disability, fostering inclusion is essential.
Accessibility plans must be published by December 3, 2025.
Understanding Accessibility Barriers
Accessibility barriers occur when systems, spaces and information are not designed for everyone. Key barriers include:
- Physical Barriers: Physical barriers happen when spaces and objects are designed in ways that make it hard for persons with disabilities to get into buildings or other spaces.
- Information & Communication Barriers: Information and communication barriers happen when information is not given in a way that everyone can use.
- Attitudinal Barriers: Attitudinal barriers happen when people think or act towards persons with disabilities based on wrong ideas.
- Technological Barriers: Technological barriers happen when technology is made in a way that not everyone can use (ex: lack of assistive devices or classroom technology).
