Accessibility in employment remains a challenge for too many people in Canada. In 2025, among people aged 15 to 64 with a disability or long-term condition: • 69% experienced a barrier to accessibility at work • 49% faced a barrier in the physical environment • 41% experienced a communication-related barrier • 35% reported technology-related barriers • 35% faced transportation-related barriers Our Employment Standard helps employers understand and remove these barriers. It gives practical guidance to create workplaces that works for everyone. Accessible employment opens doors to opportunity, innovation, and inclusion.

Pentagon agency pauses celebrations for Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Black History Month and more

The Defense Department intelligence agency has paused observances of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Pride Month, Holocaust Days of Remembrance and other cultural or historical annual events in response to President Donald Trump’s ban on diversity, equity and inclusion programs in the federal workplace. The instructions were published Tuesday in a Defense Intelligence Agency memo obtained by The Associated Press and affect 11 annual events, including Black History Month, which begins Saturday, and National Hispanic Heritage Month. An official says the pause was initiated by the agency and appears not to be policy across the Defense Department. A spokesman for the DIA did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
