 The Government of New Brunswick is committed to the development of an Employment Action Plan for Persons with a Disability in collaboration with community, employers, and government. The Plan aims to increase labour force participation of persons with disabilities in the province. The Co-chairs of the Steering Committee, MLA Danny Soucy and Employer Representative Jonathan Davenport (UPS Canada) invite your participation.

(ASL Interpretation of Guiding Questions for Community Feedback) More than 100 submissions were received and the information is currently being compiled. The Employment Action Plan for Persons with a Disability will be posted as soon as it is available. Thank you for your input!
In 2011 we held a Disability Stakeholders’ Summit, public dialogue session and sent out surveys across New Brunswick gathering input from consumers, service providers and community stakeholders in order to put together a new Disability Action Plan Report.
We are currently compiling the information gathered to determine new recommendations to address priority issues pertaining to persons with disabilities. We anticipate releasing the new report during Disability Awareness Week 2012. Feedback is always welcomed as we move forward in preparing this report. Thank you for your interest in disability issues! |
