October is Disability Employment Awareness Month (DEAM)! EmployAbilities North will be celebrating DEAM by honouring employers throughout October that know the importance of an inclusive workforce and hires persons with disabilities.
DEAM in Bonnyville
This week we were pleased to present a DEAM certificate to the hardworking team at Bonnyville’s Wholesale Club. They currently employ four clients from the EmployAbilities North program. Two are on an old contract and two are on a new one.

The purpose of DEAM is to raise awareness of the employment needs and contributions of individuals with all types of disabilities, break down barriers, and foster inclusiveness in the workplace. We honour the Wholesale Club in Bonnyville for doing just that! Look for posts on EmployAbilities’ Facebook throughout the month!
