Item - 2019.EX7.29

The Executive Committee:

1.  Requested the Executive Director, People, Equity and Human Rights to provide the Toronto Accessibility Advisory Committee with an update on:

a.  Item 2018.EX36.41 Persons with Disabilities Employment Strategy - Toronto Accessibility Advisory Committee Working Groups Update considered by the Executive Committee on July 17, 2018, requesting the development of a Persons with Disabilities Employment Strategy with the purpose of ensuring that persons with disabilities are employed at the City of Toronto at a level reflective of their representation in the population of the City;

b.  2018.EX30.28 Employment Accessibility at the City of Toronto;

c.  the current representation rates of employees who self-disclose as having a disability within the City of Toronto workforce; and

d.  what the City is doing to better allow for self-disclosure by employees who have a disability.

At its meeting of June 4, 2019, the Toronto Accessibility Advisory Committee considered a letter (May 21, 2019) from Michael Miceli, Member, Toronto Accessibility Advisory Committee on Outstanding 2014-2018 Agenda Items.

In an effort for the new Toronto Accessibility Advisory Committee members to gain an understanding of the work undertaken in the last term of the committee and the outcomes of committee decisions, I am requesting the Accessibility Consultant, Equity, Diversity and Human Rights to provide a review of decisions and report on outstanding agenda items for the 2014-2018 term at a future 2019 Toronto Accessibility Advisory Committee meeting.
