Breaking Barriers: Advancing Inclusive Employment for People with Disabilities in Canada’s Green Economy

This report examines how unconscious biases in the environmental sector can limit employment opportunities for Canadians with disabilities. It highlights the clear benefits of hiring these individuals, such as increased profitability, competitive advantage, and a more inclusive work culture.

Disability is a unique minority group that can affect anyone at any time. Despite a significant portion of Canadians experiencing disabilities, many face barriers to employment. Employers often overlook these individuals, missing out on potential benefits like increased profitability, competitive advantage, and a more inclusive work culture.

The findings in this report underscore the importance of raising awareness within the environmental sector about the capabilities of individuals with disabilities. Unconscious biases may hinder individuals with disabilities from showcasing their skills, thereby limiting the talent pool for the environmental sector. Hiring people experiencing disability can benefit both the individual and the business.

This study was made possible by the funding provided by the Canadian Association for Supported Employment (CASE)

Reconnaissance des terres

Dans un esprit de respect, de réciprocité et de vérité, nous honorons et reconnaissons Moh’kinsstis, le territoire traditionnel du Traité 7 et les pratiques orales de la confédération des Pieds-Noirs : Siksika, Kainai, Piikani, ainsi que les nations Îyâxe Nakoda et Tsuut’ina. Nous reconnaissons que ce territoire abrite la Nation métisse de l’Alberta, la région 3 au sein de la patrie historique des Métis du Nord-Ouest. Enfin, nous reconnaissons toutes les nations qui vivent, travaillent et se divertissent sur ce territoire, et qui l’honorent et le célèbrent.

Land Acknowledgment

In the spirit of respect, reciprocity, and truth, we acknowledge that we live, work, and gather on the traditional territories of the peoples of Treaty 7, including the Blackfoot Confederacy—comprising the Siksika, Kainai, and Piikani Nations—as well as the Îyâxe Nakoda and Tsuut’ina Nations.

This land, known as Moh’kinsstis in the Blackfoot language and encompassing what is now Districts 5 and 6, is also home to the Métis Nation of Alberta, Region 3, within the historical Northwest Métis homeland.

We recognize and honour the deep connection these Nations have to the land, and we are grateful for the opportunity to share in its stewardship.

As we continue our work, we commit to learning from Indigenous knowledge systems, uplifting Indigenous voices, and fostering relationships rooted in equity, understanding, and reconciliation.
