National Disability Employment Awareness Month
Identifying, preventing and removing barriers for people with disabilities creates an Ontario that is built for everyone - whether you’re pushing a stroller, making a delivery, or using a walker or a wheelchair.
People with disabilities will choose a business where they feel welcomed, and where they can easily get the products and services they want.
People with disabilities and older adults are a large and growing group of consumers.
There are 2.6 million people in Ontario with a disability; more than 40% of this population is over the age of 65. As the population ages, this number will grow.
Businesses can attract more customers and employees by removing as many barriers to access as possible, making Ontario open for business and open for jobs for everyone.
