| Citizens With
Disabilities - Ontario (CWDO) actively promotes the

disabilities through community development, social action, and

| Webinar on
Proposed Employment Standards
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Tuesday, April 21,
starting at 7:30 p.m. E.D.T. (Toronto time)
Join
John Rae, community
activist, for an informative (and free!) Webinar on the
proposed new accessible Employment Standards.
The
Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act has
authorized the development of a number of standards to make
Ontario accessible by the year 2025.
The Accessibility Standards for
Customer Service have already been set in regulation.
The public sector (i.e., provincial government) and the
broader public sector (such as hospitals and schools) will
need to be in compliance with the regulation by January 1,
2010.
Now, standards are proposed to ensure employment
practices will be accessible.
Come to the Webinar to
find out what this means. Get information to help you
decide if you support the standard or not, and how to give
your input to the standards development
committee.
