Did you know Labour Day has Canadian roots? In 1872, Toronto printers went on strike for a shorter workday, helping spark a national workers’ rights movement. By 1894, Labour Day became an official Canadian holiday. Tomorrow, we celebrate the workers whose efforts helped shape fairer workplaces.

Flexible hours, task modification, remote or hybrid work, and pacing allow persons who experience disability to perform effectively without lowered expectations or reduced quality of work. 🧐
Employer flexibility unlocks capability rather than lowering standards. Person with light skin and a pink shirt uses a wheelchair in a work setting. Logo of the Canadian Association for Supported Employment (CASE).

Each year, Canadians honour the legacy of Terry Fox—a young man whose courage, determination, and hope continue to inspire generations to fund cancer research. Today we are reminded that one person can make an extraordinary difference. #TerryFoxDay #MarathonOfHope #TerryFox #HopeInAction #Canada
A black-and-white photograph of Terry Fox running on a paved highway during his Marathon of Hope. He wears a white "Marathon of Hope" T-shirt, grey athletic shorts, running shoes, and his prosthetic leg is visible as he runs with determination. A motorcycle escort and a vehicle follow behind him on the road. Beneath the photo, large bold black text reads "TERRY FOX DAY." The MSEN logo appears at the bottom centre of the graphic, with dark red accents decorating the top corners and bottom corners of the white background.
