companies in Vancouver that are equal opportunity employers

well I found a few companies that are truly are equal opportunity employers. Windsor security is at least willing to talk to someone who is disabled about employment and try to find a place to put you securitas.ca is another company that appear to be willing to hire someone who is disabled but they are a Union company and have to do things by seniority so they to offer jobs sites to hirred employees first if they can find a spot for newly hired disabled employee they will put you to work the only other place in is a telemarketer at 20333 Fraser Highway in Langley bc so there are employers that are that will hire someone who is disabled unlike Concord security or securiguard
withConcorde security they do the malls in the lower mainland i over the past two months made several trips to the malls at various times and while I did seea few guards limping like they had a prosthesis I did not see one security officer in a wheelchair! As for securiguard like Concorde securitywhen I suggested working in the call center the excuse was its not wheelchair accessible and it appears they were not willing to go to the government to get the funding to make itaccessible or modify their call center so someone who is disabled could work in it these two companies are always hiring and advertising security officers the excuse given by Mr. aron Eatom a human resources manager at Concorde is as follows
I have received your email and read your complaint concerning the conversation you had with our Recruitment Manager.
Currently with your Partial Training BST Certification from the Justice Institute, ense in thesewe would only be able to apply for a Restricted Security Patrol license through Security Programs. Due to this, we would have to ensure that any position we were looking to employ you for met with the qualifications that your license would allow. As the majority of our sites are public facilities, there was no question put on your ability to patrol, deal with the public, problem solve, or observe and report. The concern that we, and Security Programs would have in these work environments, would be in regards to Public Safety, namely the ability to navigate the facility in a time of emergency. Unfortunately in these facilities we have little time to react with the first aid emergencies, power outages, bomb threats, and physical takedowns of suspects. I have spoken with Security Programs in the past when we have run into this licensing issue with other applicants, and it is through experience that I know the restrictions they would apply to your lic types of environments.n
strange i called a asked them and they quoted the Security Programs licening act and the section of the act dealing with licensing of disabled person I have attached a copy. every word you have written in your e-mail is an outright lie the only people have any concern is yourself and Liz
