This October, Achēv Recognizes

October is Women’s History Month, a time for us to celebrate the amazing women and girls who have made, and continue to make, a significant and lasting impact in Canada. This year’s theme, “Women Making History Now”, recognizes and honours the women who are making significant contributions in our country, especially for their work during the COVID-19 pandemic and their efforts to advance reconciliation.

October is National Disability Employment Awareness Month. Achēv recognizes the important roles people with disabilities play in our communities, society and economy. We are celebrating their valuable contributions and advocating for employment inclusion for people with disabilities. As a diverse and inclusive organization, we are committed to helping people with disabilities achieve their full potential by providing them with personalized support to meet their employment goals.

October is Autism Awareness Month, a time for us to learn more about this condition and about how we can give support to people living with autism, their families and their caregivers. Approximately 1 in 66 Canadians have been diagnosed with an Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). This month and beyond, we must create a kinder and more inclusive community for people with autism.
