SaskAbilities celebrates Disability Employment Awareness Month (DEAM) with activities across Saskatchewan.

Since 2011, the province of Saskatchewan has recognized October as Disability Employment Awareness Month (DEAM). For the past 13 years, DEAM has prompted important discussions, spotlighting the many benefits of inclusive hiring in the workplace across all industries and sectors. SaskAbilities’ Partners in Employment offices across the province are especially encouraged by the momentum DEAM builds each year in community engagement and increased interest in employment inclusion.
