Did you know?

According to the 2022 Canadian Survey on Disability (CSD), individuals with disabilities have a lower median income ($38,810) compared to those without disabilities ($46,080). This income gap limits access to essential digital resources like high-speed internet, creating barriers to equal participation in the workforce.

Canada’s digital future must work for everyone.

Explore what it takes to bridge the digital divide in Article 3 of CCRW’s 2025 Trends Report: From Divide to Inclusion: Digital Access, Accessibility, & Skills Development.

⚠️ Barrier Alert: Fast video calls can leave people behind.

Many job seekers and employees with disabilities face communication barriers in online meetings, especially when conversations move quickly or voices overlap. A simple shift can make participation more accessible:

➤ Slow the pace
➤ Avoid rapid-fire discussion
➤ Rotate turns to speak
➤ Encourage the use of the Raise Hand" feature
➤ Value different communication styles

Small changes create space for every voice. 💜
