We are excited to announce that registration is now open for the Disability and Work in Canada (DWC) 2024 Virtual Conference! This year’s event will focus on reducing barriers to employment for persons with disabilities and supporting their full inclusion in Canadian workplaces.
The conference will bring together key stakeholders from the business, government, and disability communities to review and renew the Pan-Canadian Strategy for Disability and Work. Launched in 2019 after extensive consultation, the Strategy has seen significant progress, but there’s still work to be done. Together, we’ll evaluate our achievements and highlight priority areas for the future.
