People with disabilities are experiencing difficulties finding and maintaining employment during this pandemic. While these challenges existed prior to the pandemic, jobs are more limited now and this is negatively impacting people with disabilities.

Individuals featured are from the Greater Toronto Area and Montreal. You can view this documentary series here (link).
