DEAM is a time to raise awareness, educate, and promote the inclusion of people with disabilities in the workforce. Persons with disabilities face barriers to employment, and DEAM provides an opportunity for employers, service providers, and all Canadians to come together to break down these barriers and build a more inclusive economy.
