Anyone with feedback on the draft is invited to email: Feedback@DWCstrategy.ca.
Advocates for greater inclusion of people with disabilities in Canadian workplaces are gathering input on, and broad-based support for, a new draft pan-Canadian strategy for building an inclusive workforce.
The draft strategy, unveiled ahead of the Disability and Work in Canada (DWC) conference in Ottawa last December, is designed to promote and guide efforts and initiatives across the country that can be undertaken by various stakeholders to improve employment opportunities for people with disabilities.
The authors of the document—representatives of the Centre for Research on Work Disability Policy (a research initiative housed at the Institute for Work & Health), the Canadian Council on Rehabilitation and Work, the Ontario Network of Injured Workers Groups and InclusionNL—are now gathering feedback on the draft strategy. Their plan is to integrate the input in the final revision of the strategy, which is set to be released in late 2019.
