Expanding Accessibility in The BioTechnology Sector - Toronto

Are You an Ontario Employer? Make Sure You’re Compliant!

Did you know, nearly 1 in 7 Ontarians are persons with disabilities? Persons with disabilities represent a strategically valuable talent pool, yet only 7.6% of bio-economy companies have persons with disabilities on staff.

Beginning in 2017, Ontario businesses and non-profits with 1 employee or more must comply with the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA). Additionally, employers with 20 or more employees must file an accessibility compliance report with the Government of Ontario.

BioTalent Canada, along with partners Gowling WLG, eSolutions Group and Stratford Managers, will be discussing the new AODA compliance standards and what they mean for your business. Please join us and learn how to successfully complete your compliance report.
