Julie Sawchuk B.Sc., B.Ed., RHFAC
As a Best Selling Author, Speaker, Educator and Accessibility Strategist, Julie is committed to forming positive, strong, and responsive relationships that help you create accessible spaces. After sustaining a spinal cord injury in 2015, Julie became aware of the everyday challenge of living in a world not built with accessibility
in mind, and so began her journey as an accessibility strategist. She earned the Rick
Hansen Foundation Accessibility Certification and launched Sawchuk Accessible Solutions, where she consults, completes accessibility ratings and educates folks in the design and construction industry all across Canada.

In 2022, Julie was chosen by the Minister of Seniors and Accessibility to Chair the
review of the Design of Public Spaces for the Province of Ontario. Julie was also a
key member of the Canadian Standards Association’s Accessible Dwellings
Technical Committee and is the Vice Chair of the Huron County Accessibility
Advisory Committee.

Whether it's retrofitting an existing building or starting from scratch, Julie
speaks to audiences of architects, facilities managers, engineers and builders to
achieve meaningful levels of accessibility for private homes, international
airports and everything in between.
