Be cautious if someone asks you to pay for help with an appeal 🚩

You do not need to pay anyone to submit an appeal or to get help with the appeals process. Claims Helpers can help you understand the appeals process and complete your Request for Appeal Form at no cost.

If someone asks for payment, personal information or banking details, this may be a sign of fraud.

👉 Learn how to protect yourself from fraud: https://t.co/sqAtBl0sIs

If you need help, free support is available:
📞 Call the Administrator at 1-833-852-0755 (toll-free) between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. ET Monday to Friday (excluding statutory holidays), choose your language and press 2 to speak with a Claims Helper.

The webinar reviews the current state of MAiD, key disability concerns, recent developments including proposed Federal and Albertan legislation, and the proposed expansion of MAiD to include mental illness as the sole underlying condition.

[Gabrielle Peters 👩🏻‍🦽 @mssinenomine]

NEW by me. Alberta's new legislation surrounding MAiD puts a crack in Canada's formalization of the idea that it is better to be dead than disabled.
Thank you @MLInstitute for believing disabled people & our analysis should be part of the discourse.

📷 We Want to Hear From You!
Indigenous Disability Canada (IDC) / BC Aboriginal Network on Disability Society just launched our Accessible Housing - Inclusive First Nations Project.

We are inviting First Nations community members, especially those with lived experience of disability, to complete our survey on accessible housing.

Your insights will help us better understand strengths, gaps, and barriers, and shape meaningful, community-informed solutions.

Take the survey here: https://t.co/lTSZel3EpO

Each month we will be making a draw for a new iPad, eligible to those who fully complete our survey!

We welcome you to share this post to help us reach more community members. Together, we can support more accessible, inclusive communities for today and future generations!

[Oral Histories of Indigenous Disability @Indigenous_OH]

“I really don't think there's a word for disabled [...] when you speak Mi'kmaw as opposed to English, that's two totally different … say when I'm reading, I have to give [myself] a moment to translate it into English, because I'm trying to figure it out in Mi'kmaw in my head.”

Our thoughts and our grief are with the families, students, first responders and the entire community of Tumbler Ridge, all affected by this devastating event.
Our words cannot erase what you have, are, and will be going though, but know our hearts are with you.

If you or a loved one were admitted to a Federal Indian Hospital while it was operated by the Government of Canada, you may be eligible to receive money as part of a Canada-wide settlement.

Contact us for more information or if you'd like assistance starting the process.

[FNChildClaims @FNChildClaims]

How does this Settlement differ from Jordan’s Principle services?

👉 The First Nations Child and Family Services and Jordan’s Principle Settlement provides compensation for past harm.

👉 Jordan’s Principle services support First Nations Children with access to essential health, education and social services today.

They sound similar, but you contact different places for each one.
