Last week, members of our Prairie Region Team from Regina and Yellowknife attended a Disability Employment Awareness Month (DEAM) stakeholders meeting in Yellowknife with our community partners including MentorAbility NWT (new window), Inclusion NWT (new window), and CDÉTNO (new window).

It was a great opportunity to share information about our employment programs like Creative Employment Options, as well as assistive technology solutions through our Solutions (new window) and Makers Making Change (new window) programs, and learn about other great initiatives supporting employment for people with disabilities in the community.

It was also a great opportunity for our Prairie Region team from Regina and Yellowknife to connect with each other.
