The Artery Community Roaster

All the employees who are roasting and packaging their coffee, are people living with disabilities. Their main mission is to provide stable employment and work experience, paid at a living wage, for people living with disabilities. In most provinces, people living with disabilities earn between 70 and 75 percent of the income earned by people without disabilities. Many also face significant barriers to finding meaningful employment at all. They are working to play a small part in helping to change this.
