Outlawing heels in the office

Although very few businesses overtly EXPECT women to wear heels to work, we do anyway. Heels have a way of making us look taller and leaner, and who can resist the urge to self-promote? (Turns out, many people, all smarter than I.) A little-noticed section of Bill 148 (Schedule 3) actually prohibits employers from requiring […]

Although we all tend to complain about the cold, some Ontarians have to wear “Arctic” outdoor clothing (jackets, boots, and gloves) all year round!
