As part of FRPO'\;s ongoing Diversity\, Equity and Inclusion series\, we are pleased to partner with Holland Bloor view for an educational \;webinar on December 6th. \; Join us to l earn about creating \;a more inclusive world for people with disabilit ies\, by keeping inclusion at the forefront of all aspects of your busines s. Did you know 22% of Canadians identify as having a disability? Sound li ke a small percentage? It&rsquo\;s not. That&rsquo\;s 6.2 million people. But we don&rsquo\;t see them &mdash\; not how we should &mdash\; and it&rs quo\;s time to fix that.
\n\nOne bias we&rsquo\;re trying to dissolv e? The lack of representation and inclusion &ndash\; in advertising\, in t he media and in the workforce. So we&rsquo\;re asking for help. It&rsquo\; s time to make our world more inclusive. And you are a big part of that he lp.
\n\nAttend this complimentary webinar to learn the best practice s of disability inclusion in all your work. Holland Bloorview&rsquo\;s ant i-stigma campaign\, The Dear Everybody Agreement\, is creating a shift in our corporate world to include disability in the picture. Learn about auth entic inclusion and representation of folks with disabilities in your work by learning about proper language to use with disability\, tips\, and tri cks on being an ally\, and how we can be an ongoing resource to your team moving forward. You can learn more about the Dear Everybody Agreem ent here \;
