Standard recommendations

The Accessibility Advisory Board established the Employment Standard Development Committee to help the board make recommendations on the content and implementation of an accessibility standard in employment. Committee members included representatives from disability organizations, impacted sectors and government. The majority of committee members identified as having a disability.

The recommendations are being used to prepare Nova Scotia's employment accessibility standard.
