Statistics Canada notes that over 3.8 million individuals reported having a disability in 2012 (almost 15% of Canadian population)1.  WCB Statistics notes that workers 45 years and older, now account for 42.8% of our workforce in Manitoba2.  There are now legal requirements outlined in the Accessibility for Manitobans Act (AMA) spelling out the employer's responsibility to create a 5 year Accessibility Plan, and to ensure customer service personnel are trained in disability awareness, in accordance with the new Customer Service Standards. This seminar will look at how creating workplace environments and services that are accessible to all has become a priority.
