On January 23, the city of Duncan welcomed an inspiring event dedicated to fostering more inclusive workplaces. Community Leaders for Inclusive Employment brought together business professionals, community organizations, and local leaders for an engaging conversation about the benefits and opportunities of hiring people with disabilities. This impactful event was a partnership between Inclusion BC, Clements Centre Society, and the Duncan Cowichan Chamber of Commerce, demonstrating a collaborative commitment to advancing employment equity in the Cowichan Valley.
The event was hosted at the Clements Centre Society and created a welcoming space for dialogue, connection, and shared learning. Employers and professionals representing a range of industries discussed the challenges and successes of building workplaces where everyone can thrive.
This outreach event was part of a broader initiative to challenge misconceptions about employment for people with disabilities while highlighting the many benefits of a diverse workforce. Through partnerships with chambers of commerce and community-focused organizations like the Clements Centre Society, Inclusion BC continues to drive change, equipping employers and service providers with the tools to support meaningful employment journeys.
The success of this event underscores the power of community-driven solutions for inclusive employment. Events like these not only spark meaningful conversations but also build momentum toward a future where greater inclusion and equity in the workplace become standard practice.
As more communities across British Columbia embrace similar initiatives, the movement for inclusive employment is gaining strength, one meaningful connection at a time.
