DYK? A 2017 Canadian Survey on Disability by Stats Can states 15% of youth with mild disabilities aren't in school/employed, compared with 31% with severe disabilities. This is why it's so important to have accessible & barrier-free spaces in our schools and workplaces.

#NationalCaregiverDay is a perfect opportunity to acknowledge the selfless dedication that caregivers in Canada provide each day. Today and every day, let’s say thank you and show our appreciation.

Good jobs for PWDs are crucial to a barrier-free Canada.

That’s why the #GC awarded $14 million to Ready, Willing, and Able, a project supporting improved employment outcomes for persons on the Autism spectrum.

PROGRESS: take note of today’s vaccine eligibility criteria announcement. Some great progress made for early vaccine access for SOME people with disabilities & caregivers. We are still trying to absorb what is in here & will report back.
