Light It Up! For NDEAM (National Disability Employment Awareness Month) is a national campaign spearheaded by the Ontario Disability Employment Network. In Saskatchewan, SARC leads this campaign. This national campaign started in 2021 and we’ve seen more organizations participate each year.
For the past five years, SARC has been participating in and promoting the national Light It Up! For NDEAM (National Disability Employment Awareness Month) campaign. This years Light It Up! For NDEAM will take place on Thursday, October 15th.
Last year, SARC ranked first amongst all participating provinces for locations lit up and we need your help to stay on top. Our SARC Members can help us to light up the Saskatchewan sky and show how brightly we can shine for inclusive employment on the night of October 15th! We encourage you all to get local business and municipalities to join you in lighting up. Together we can once again show the rest of Canada how brightly Saskatchewan can shine!
Ready to join us in lighting up on October 15th? Send an email to deam@sarcan.sk.ca with your name, community, and the addresses of the buildings/structures being lit up on October 15th.
We look forward to the Saskatchewan sky brightly shining in hues of purple and blue on Thursday, October 15th
