Close to 1 in 5 Canadians have a disability. They are customers, employees, suppliers and investors and make up a population segment much too large for businesses to ignore.

Creating accessible and inclusive workplaces involves having strong and sustained organizational commitment and knowledge. To fully welcome, support and advance employees with disabilities in your organization requires the right attitudes, behaviours, processes and systems. This is critical to building the expertise required to create innovative products and services that will attract this powerful consumer market. It’s a fact that businesses that employ and market to people with disabilities outperform those that don’t.
