From the Confederation Building in St. John’s to the Vancouver Airport Control Tower, communities across Canada will light up purple and blue on Thursday, October 15 for Light It Up! For NDEAM™, a national event celebrating disability inclusion in employment and the contributions of people who have a disability in our communities. Now in its seventh year, Light It Up! For NDEAM™ will bring together more than 450 landmarks, buildings and businesses in 115 communitiesacross the country. City halls, bridges, businesses, stadiums and local landmarks will add their lights to a national show of support for disability inclusion in workplaces and communities.

Jobs and Families Minister Patty Hajdu speaks with reporters in the House of Commons foyer on Sept. 21, 2026, after Government House Leader Steven MacKinnon, left, tabled Bill C-39, the Building Canada Strong Act.
