The CGS Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) Committee recently hosted a webinar:
Navigating Disabilities in the Workplace: Working With(out) Barriers
In recognition of Disability Employment Awareness Month, this webinar explored disability in the workplace through the voices and lived experiences of professionals within our community. We were pleased to welcome four guest speakers who shared their experiences and perspectives:
Leanne McLaren, Geotechnical Engineer, Thurber
Arjan Jianfar, Branch Head – Riverbank Management, City of Winnipeg
Krista Oribello-Lal, Software Developer, Western Drug Distribution Centre
Shanna Ramm, Western Region Claims Director, Sun Life
Through short presentations and an interactive panel discussion and audience Q&A, our speakers shared personal perspectives on navigating disability in their professional lives—including challenges and successes, barriers and misconceptions, and the experiences that have shaped their careers.
The recording will be available to CGS members in the coming weeks.
