Disability and Work in Canada 2024 (DWC 2024) Conference
The Disability and Work in Canada 2024 (DWC 2024) Conference took place virtually over four days. The event centered on renewing the Pan-Canadian Strategy for Disability and Work, including a review of progress made since its launch at our 2019 conference. Developed through extensive consultation, this consensus-based strategy has guided efforts to improve workplace accessibility and inclusion. With significant changes since 2019, the conference provided an opportunity to reflect on collective achievements and identify priority areas for continued action.
