Amandipp Singh, Founder of Enabled Talent and ENABLE Canada, has received the David C. Onley Award for Leadership in Accessibility from the Government of Ontario.
Singh was recognized in the Employee Engagement category for leadership and commitment to breaking down barriers for people with disabilities. The award was presented on September 14, 2026, as part of Ontario’s Lieutenant Governor’s Legacy Awards recognition.
The David C. Onley Award for Leadership in Accessibility commemorates the legacy of the Honourable David C. Onley, Ontario’s 28th Lieutenant Governor. It recognizes Ontarians who serve as role models in advancing accessibility for people with disabilities.
“This recognition is deeply personal to me,” said Singh. “Accessibility is not simply about accommodating people after a system has excluded them. It is about building systems that recognize human potential from the beginning.”
Enabled Talent is a global inclusion technology company building accessible digital solutions that connect people with disabilities and underserved communities to education, employment and full participation in everyday life. The company is developing the Talent Passport: a lifelong, portable and consent-controlled record that enables individuals to carry their strengths, goals, supports and achievements across education, employment and community settings.
ENABLE Canada is a national accessibility and inclusion initiative guided by a simple conviction: Canada becomes stronger when every person has a genuine chance to contribute. It brings lived experience into conversation with employers, educators, governments, community leaders and innovators to move accessibility beyond policy and into everyday practice.
Together, these efforts address a deeper challenge: too many people still have to prove their potential repeatedly as they move between schools, workplaces, services and communities. Singh’s work is focused on changing the systems around people—not asking people to change themselves to fit systems that were never designed with them in mind.
“Canada has extraordinary talent that remains unseen because opportunity is often designed too narrowly,” Singh said. “The work ahead is to build a country where a person’s disability, background or circumstance does not determine the size of their future.”
Singh said the award reflects the belief, courage and generosity of the people and communities who have shared their experiences, challenged the work and helped make progress possible.
“This recognition carries my name, but it belongs to many people,” he said. “It belongs to those who kept showing up, those who opened doors, and those who believed that a more accessible Canada is not only possible, but necessary.”
