In an attempt to target high levels of unemployment for people with disabilities the Ontario government has announced a strategy intended to create job opportunities. Minister of Accessibility Tracy MacCharles called Access Talent: Ontario's Employment Strategy for People with Disabilities a "forward looking strategy" with three main elements. The government also intends to streamline employment and training services through a new program at Employment Ontario. Over a 23 year period in six stores, he says he's had 150 employees with disabilities. He adds the government is rehashing some previous announcements, including its goal to lead by example in accessibility employment.
