OSPE - COVID-19 Economic Recovery Recommendations - Provincial Government - 26

7. Support organizations that implement inclusive design principles and the growth of a diverse workforce to enable
economic equity and recovery in Ontario.
Inclusive Design:
In many ways, COVID-19 has highlighted the need for innovative solutions aided by the implementation of new technologies. Though this
provides numerous recommendations regarding nuanced and innovative processes that can generate economic benefits for the
province, the Ontario government must emphasize and incentivize industry to ensure that the design of these new systems and
processes is inclusive and benefits all Ontarians.
Inclusion in design is an important component to ensuring that new products, services, and technological advancements serve the needs
of all Ontarians. Engineering inclusive designs are a key component that embeds critical considerations/aspects of everyday life into
solutions, and existing engineering talent in Ontario is beyond capable of leading industries in this initiative for the immediate, short- and
long-term economic recovery of our province. Without this, monetary and discriminatory repercussions could ensue as solutions will likely
fall short of objectives, serving some segments of the population well and overlooking others, ultimately negatively impacting the health
of all Ontarians.
As engineers also have an ethical mandate to safeguard the public interest, the province should engage the engineering community as
technological stewards to rebuild the engine that drives Ontario and the rest of Canada.
The engineering community recommends that the Government of Ontario:

a. Require organizations to demonstrate a commitment to inclusive design to access funding. Projects must account for our

diverse population, be flexible and adaptable, employ inclusive processes and tools, and have a broad beneficial impact.

The requirements outlined in this funding framework should be measurable generating accountability from industry to advance

a vibrant, thriving ecosystem in Ontario.
