Beyond the Menu: St-Hubert Restaurants and Giant Steps Make Dining More Accessible

On this episode, we’re exploring a game-changing initiative at St-Hubert restaurants that’s transforming the dining experience for the autism community. With the help of Giant Steps, St-Hubert is setting a new standard in the restaurant industry with sensory-friendly spaces, comprehensive staff training, and a commitment to inclusive hiring.  Joining host Mark Bergman to discuss this initiative are Josée Vaillancourt, Director of Communications for The St-Hubert Group and Director of the St-Hubert Foundation, Alex Duquette, a St-Hubert franchise owner (Des Laurentides) in Laval, and Alain Bessette, Inclusive Employment Initiatives Manager at Giant Steps.  How did this collaboration come to life? What does an inclusive dining experience look like? And how is St-Hubert ensuring accessibility in both its restaurants and workforce? We’ll dive into all of it in this insightful conversation about the future of inclusivity in the restaurant industry.
