About the Series

Canada has promised to be barrier-free by 2040. Access in Progress checks the work.

The show takes the Accessible Canada Act off the shelf and puts it next to real life, looking at the barriers Canadians with disabilities face today and what removing them actually takes. A set of recurring segments keeps the format moving: quick accessibility facts in Did You Know?, listener-judged scenarios in Accessibility Pass or Fail?, comedy in Isn't It Funny?, unscripted personal stories in Spill the Beans, international comparisons in There's an Act for That, absurd legislation in Dumb Laws and Accessibility, and the history behind Canadian disability rights in How We Got Here.

Marco Pasqua hosts alongside Bean Gill. Marco is an accessibility consultant and speaker who has spent over a decade advocating for inclusive design, working with municipalities and business leaders across Canada on accessibility and inclusive employment strategy. Bean Gill is a keynote speaker and disability advocate known for her talk Disrupt the Discomfort of Disability and her Fall. Feel. Rise. Repeat. framework, and for her time on CBC's PUSH. Together they bring policy, lived experience, and a sense of humor to a topic that usually gets neither.

Hard hats optional. Let's get to work.
