SUMMARY:Inclusive Workplaces – Disability Inclusion and Accessibility
DESCRIPTION:A critical dialogue on disability\, inclusion and accessibility. \nFor over 30 years the United Nations (UN) has advocated for a more equitable and inclusive society for people with disabilities (PwD). While we’ve seen some improvements in institutional policies and practices and changes in individual attitudes and behaviour\, equity for PwD in the workplace remains elusive. \nIn this webinar\, speakers will share stories about living with different types of disabilities\, supporting loved ones who live with disabilities and engage in critical dialogue about challenging preconceived assumptions about disability while navigating the workplace. \nJoin our Panelists:\nWith Guest Speaker: \n\nRayhan Azmat\, Vice President\, Financial Planning & Analysis at Cineplex Entertainment\n\nRayhan’s inspiring story is one of resilience in the face of adversity and constant change. He was diagnosed with an ultra-rare muscle condition in his early twenties that has gradually stripped him of his physical abilities\, but he has continued to thrive in his personal and professional life. Rayhan is currently Vice President and Head of FP&A at Cineplex Entertainment\, has travelled the world with his wife and children\, pursued his passion for film\, and advocates for disability rights and inclusion through multiple board positions.(https://www.rayhanazmat.com/#about) \n\nAnita Houle\, Project Manager\, 50-30 Challenge\, Northern Lights College\n\nAnita Houle (Friesen-Houle)\, a Human Resources Professional\, currently leading a team supporting organizations within Western Canada and the Territories in the advancement of equity\, diversity\, inclusion and economic prosperity.

She provides expert EDI analysis\, training\, strategies and leadership coaching to the project.
