Dear Everybody - Campaign to end disability stigma

Creating inclusive workforces for everybody

Did you know 22% Canadians identify as having a disability? Sound like a small percentage? It’s not. That’s 6.2 million people. But we don’t see them — not how we should — and it’s time to fix that.

One bias we’re trying to dissolve? The lack of representation and inclusion – in advertising, in the media and in the workforce. So we’re asking for help. It’s time to make our world more inclusive. And you are a big part of that help.

By signing the Dear Everybody Agreement, you are committing to create a more inclusive world for people with disabilities, by keeping inclusion at the forefront of all aspects of your business.
