Small businesses have been called the backbone of our economy, as businesses with fewer than 100 workers employ about 65% of the total private labour force in Canada. Small businesses employ about 88.5 percent of the private sector workforce highlighting the important role they play in employing Canadians. In this session, we will explore the benefits of improving accessibility for your company and your workplace and how it can unlock business potential. Our economic growth depends upon entrepreneurs; So, tap into the hidden talents of the disability community.
As part of ACT’s ongoing commitment to Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Accessibility (DEIA), the Center for Equity in Learning regularly invites leaders, experts, and practitioners to share knowledge and insights as part of ACT’s Equity Speakers Series. To advance this conversation we are pleased to invite Dr. M. Leona Godin, an accomplished writer, performer, educator, and editor, to join us as our upcoming featured guest speaker. For those interested in learning more about the unique experience of blindness and who seek to become a more supportive ally, advocate, and champion for inclusive design, make sure to join us for an inspiring conversation with Dr. Godin. This virtual event promises to be a rich conversation about how art, accessibility, technology, and disability intersect to create spaces that unravel and challenge our notions of visually impaired and blind people. Dr. Godin will unpack the history, myths, and ideas about blindness and challenge many presumptions embedded in our “ocularcentric” culture – themes also explored in her book, “There Plant Eyes: A Personal and Cultural History of Blindness”.

We celebrate Global Accessibility Awareness Day with a free webinar on this unique topic. Join us!

Canada is recognized as a global leader in digital accessibility, most recently with their introduction of the Accessible Canada Act. Like all countries, Canada has an imperfect history when it comes to accessibility and inclusivity, but what can others learn from Canada in how to operationalize an accessible ecosystem? How can other countries build inclusive practices into their culture and legislation? On Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD), join us as David Berman, an internationally recognized expert in inclusive design and strategic communications, discusses Canada’s history of leadership in accessibility, as well as predicting where the puck is heading regarding regulations and emerging standards that can benefit everyone within and beyond its borders. David will share experiences and insights that will help you leave no one behind online … while enjoying the “Accessibility Dividend” for all.
