Acknowledgements

The Workforce Development Board / Local

Employment Planning Council (WDB/LEPC)

would like to thank the numerous groups and

organizations that provided input and support

throughout the development of the employer

guides and Scott Howard for his work on the

project. We would like to express a special thank

you to Paula Kehoe at Red Rock

Communications for her support during the final

stages of these publications.

These guides are designed to help employers

navigate a number of issues that have an impact

on our local labour market. Topics addressed

include disability and accessibility; diversity

and inclusion; gender and sexuality; managing

different generations; mental health and mental

illness; and substance abuse and additions.

The WDB/LEPC would also like thank the many

volunteers that have served on our board of

directors and governance structure during the

Local Employment Planning Council (LEPC) pilot

project.
