A job is never just a job.
It’s belonging. It’s independence. It’s pride in being seen for your strengths, not your circumstances.

This Disability Employment Awareness Month, we celebrate the power of inclusive workplaces where everyone’s abilities, ideas, and voices are valued and matter.

Because when doors open, lives change.

Inclusion isn’t about “making space.” It’s about realising the space was always there, waiting for us to see value in every person who walks through the door.
To every employer creating opportunities, to every advocate breaking barriers, and to every person showing up each day with courage and heart, we see you, we thank you, and we celebrate you. 💙

Ever wonder what it takes to make a city more accessible? At the Council for Persons with Disabilities (CPD), we've been working behind the scenes and out in the community for over 30 years to break down barriers in Peterborough/Nogojiwanong. We advocate at City Hall and collaborate with schools and local businesses. We speak up when accessibility is overlooked.

Today on National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, we pause and reflect on the history of residential schools in Canada. We honour the children that did not return home to their families, the survivors, their families, and communities. We acknowledge the truth of our history and believe reconciliation is a shared responsibility for all Canadians that requires action not just on this day, but every day. ⁠

Volunteers are at the heart of what we do and we are always thrilled when one of them gets recognized for what they do outside of our organization.

Last week one of our student volunteers, Aya Darrouba received the 2024 Community Betterment award from The City of Peterborough
for her ongoing efforts to create a more inclusive community for all.

Congratulations Aya and thank you once again for all you do.
