Thanks to the Govt of Canada’s investment in Ready, Willing & Able until 2027, our program will continue to work with Canadian businesses to build inclusive workplaces that tap into the skills and potential of persons on the autism spectrum or with an intellectual disability.

In the pursuit of true healthcare equity, we must prioritize the needs of the most vulnerable. Confronting systemic forces that perpetuate inequalities is essential for lasting change. Let's build a framework that leaves no one behind 🫡✨ @NotishaMassaqu1 #HealthcareEquity #SystemicChange #RacialHumility

73% of adults w/ intellectual disabilities who live alone live in poverty. The #CDB can help change this but only if implemented correctly. In May-Sep 2022, we and other disability orgs consulted #pwd about how the CDB should work. Learn what we heard: inclusioncanada.ca/2023/06/23/the…

What did we hear from our consultations on the #CDB from #pwd? This infographic has some highlights. As the disability community prepares to work with govn't on the details of the benefit we hope that this report will inform the work.

We did it! Bill C-22 has received Royal Assent and the Canada Disability Benefit Act is now law. Now the work begins to design a Benefit that meets the needs of the disability community. I know we will get this done, together. Here are the next steps.

Caregiving impacts all of us. Most Canadians will need care or give care at some point in our lives, yet families are stretched thin, and people with disabilities and our elders are struggling. Help us change things for the better. bit.ly/432sRIq #CCCESummit2023
