Presented at 11th Annual Accessibility Conference, May 2019, University of Guelph In Canada, the number of working age adults with sight loss who are employed full time is half that of the general population.3 Many of those individuals with sight loss who are employed, are struggling to make ends meet. Nearly 1.5 million Canadians live with some form of sight loss, representing a significant talent pool for employers in diverse fields including science, law, engineering, creative arts, technology and broadcasting, amongst many others. The Canadian economy benefits when all skilled, well-qualified Canadians are employed and contributing. Employers report that candidates who are blind or partially sighted, while educated, often need to develop pre-employment skills. Due to misconceptions, a lack of understanding and the stigma associated with sight loss, those with sight loss tend to be excluded from the social, emotional, physical, educational and employment opportunities that are aforded to those with sight.

  • Issue Number 25 February 1998
    Gavin’s Woodpile – The Bruce Cockburn Newsletter Edited by Daniel Keebler Issue Number 25 February 1998 Mali and The River of Sand Bruce Cockburn will travel with a Canadian documentary crew to Mali in February, to capture the life and livelihood of the people of the West African country. Cockburn will spend a month exploring the country. His itinerary will include stops in the legendary city of Timbuktu as well as the heart of Dogon country, home to one of Africa’s most ancient and fascinating cultures. Along the way, he will cross musical paths with some of Mali’s most well known musicians. His findings will be part of a one hour, made-for-broadcast documentary, River of Sand . It will provide a blend of music and culture while addressing the serious issues facing the people of the country. The film will be produced by Kensington Communications of Toronto. Cockburn, who will narrate and host the film, will also spend time in the Douentza district. There he will have the opportunity to view, first-hand, the ongoing life and death struggle of the local people in overcoming a serious drought this year. As well, he will investigate the progress being made in fighting back the desert, with the assistance of a Canadian development organization, USC Canada (www.usc-canada.org). The singer/songwriter is well known for his interest in environmental issues through his work as spokesperson for USC over the last 25 years. River of Sand will be aired nationally by Vision TV and regionally by TV Ontario and Saskatchewan Education Network.

    i “HIRE THE HANDICAPPED!” DISABILITY RIGHTS, ECONOMIC INTEGRATION AND WORKING LIVES IN TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1962-2005 DUSTIN GALER A THESIS SUBMITTED IN CONFORMITY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY GRADUATE DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY IN THE UNIVERSITY OF TORONTO © by Dustin Galer JUNE 2014 ii “Hire the Handicapped!” Disability Rights, Economic Integration and Working Lives in Toronto, Ontario, 1962-2005 Dustin Galer Doctor of Philosophy Department of History University of Toronto 2014 Abstract This dissertation, “‘Hire the Handicapped!’: Disability Rights, Economic Integration and Working Lives in Toronto, Ontario, 1962-2005,” argues that work significantly shaped the experience of disability during this period. Barriers to mainstream employment opportunities gave rise to multiple disability movements that challenged the social and economic framework which marginalized generations of people with disabilities. Using a critical analysis of disability in archival records, personal collections, government publications and a series of interviews, I demonstrate how demands for greater access among disabled people to paid employment stimulated the development of a new discourse of disability in Canada. Including disability as a variable in historical research reveals how family advocates helped people living in institutions move out into the community and rehabilitation professionals played an increasingly critical role in the lives of working-age adults with disabilities, civil rights activists crafted a new consumer- led vision of social and economic integration. Separated by different philosophies and bases of support, disability activists and allies found a common purpose in their pursuit of economic integration. iii The focus on employment issues among increasingly influential disability activists during this period prompted responses from three key players in the Canadian labour market.
