Saint Mary's University

Saint Mary's University was founded in 1802 and is located in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. The university has a long tradition of academic excellence in teaching and research. Our campus is home to more than 7,000 students from over 115 countries. All of our academic programs are accredited and recognized internationally, to ensure students have worldwide access to employment and graduate studies. Specifically, all of our programs within the Sobey School of Business have received the highest level of international accreditation. The AACSB accreditation spans from our Bachelor of Commerce to our Ph.D. in Business Management.

Why we joined the CRWDP: Participating in this grant and building research capacity in work disability policy issues are extremely important for Nova Scotia, which has the highest percentage of people with disabilities among all Canadian provinces and territories. There is a strong economic and social need to understand how the national and provincial work disability policy can help people with disabilities with labour market integration and income security. Furthermore, accessibility is a core component of Saint Mary’s University’s institutional vision. Thus, becoming a partner of this initiative is important for our university.
