Additional businesses are also being encouraged to take part.

“Light It Up! For NDEAM is literally shining a spotlight on the many ways people who have a disability contribute to businesses and communities across Canada, and how they help companies be successful and competitive,” said Jeannette Campbell, CEO of the Ontario Disability Employment Network (ODEN).

On October 21, people across the country will be asked to share photos on social media along with #LightItUpForNDEAM, #LightItUp1021, and #EngageTalent.
