CORE VALUES Everything that the NWT Disabilities Council does reflects our six core values. Every person with a disability has the right to respect, dignity, individual autonomy, and full citizenship. We believe in equity, fairness, inclusion, and accessibility for all. We believe that individuals with a disability and their families have the right to be empowered and free to be self-determining.

We honour the wisdom of all cultures in all of our work.
