Disability Employment Awareness Month
Taking place each October, Disability Employment Awareness Month (DEAM) is a campaign that promotes inclusion within the job market for people with disabilities.
DEAM in Alberta
October 1st marks the start of Disability Employment Awareness (DEAM) month across Canada and in Alberta. DEAM celebrates, educates, raises awareness and promotes employment inclusion within the job market for people with disabilities. Persons with disabilities face barriers to employment and each year DEAM provides an opportunity for employers, people with disabilities, service providers and Canadians to come together to act in removing barriers and creating a more inclusive economy.
