\u201cWhen we Light It Up! Together, we show what disability inclusion really is,\u201d said Amy Widdows, CEO of the Ontario Disability Employment Network (ODEN), which leads the national initiative. \u201cIt\u2019s more than a lighting event, it\u2019s about lighting the path for equity and opportunity for every person in every community.\u201d<\/p>\n

\t\"\"\/<\/p>\n

The buildings and landmarks that will be lit up includes the CN Tower in Toronto, BC Place in Vancouver, the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia in Victoria, the NWT Legislative Assembly Dome in Yellowknife, the Calgary Tower, the High Level Bridge in Edmonton, the Manitoba Legislative Building in Winnipeg, the Canada Life Buildings, Halifax City Hall, the Charlottetown City Hall Clock Tower, and the Confederation Building in St. John\u2019s. <\/p>\n

In addition, the Government of Canada will light up 57 federal buildings across the country, and the Government of Ontario will light 15 provincial sites.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen workplaces include everyone, they perform better. It\u2019s that simple,\u201d said Widdows. \u201cDisability inclusive hiring is more than compliance. It\u2019s about community, innovation, and growth. Every time an employer removes a barrier, they make room for new talent and new possibilities.\u201d<\/p>\n

Citizens can join the celebration by visiting participating buildings and landmarks, sharing photos on social media, and using the hashtags #LightItUpForNDEAM and #WorkWithoutBarriers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cWhen we Light It Up!
