October is Disability Employment Awareness Month! 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. Learn more about 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. Look for posts on EmployAbilities’ Facebook throughout the month!
