An early intervention pilot initiative taking place in B.C. will be available to any individual or employer seeking return-to-work and accommodation solutions after experiencing mental and physical health impairments.

Federally-regulated organizations will need to prioritize specific actions that advance accessibility and disability inclusion by 2040.

The accommodation process is inherently collaborative, and employers and employees need to be cooperative, share information, and work together to find potential accommodation solutions.

Organizations have until November 1, 2022, to apply for a new round of funding that focuses on infrastructure improvements that boost disability inclusion and accessibility.

Canadians with disabilities make up the largest potential market of consumers, clients, employees and homeowners, with an annual buying power of $25 billion.
