Putting Marrakesh into Practice

This panel will share the story of how the Marrakesh treaty made its way to take its place amongst the WIPO body of copyright treaties, and the affordances it offers for access to published works for the blind, visually impaired and print-disabled community. In addition, panelists from Manitoba and Ontario will share regional Canadian successes, challenges, and opportunities with respect to implementing the Treaty in the context of the Accessibility for Manitobans Act (AMA) and the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA).
