1.6 million Canadians with disabilities cannot afford the equipment, medications, and supports they need, but access to essential supports shouldn’t depend on whether someone can afford them. We need to keep working toward a Canada where people with disabilities can access the supports they need to live, work, and participate fully in their communities.
1.6 million Canadians living with a disability cannot afford the equipment and medication they need — a bold red statistic to raise awareness for Easter Seals Canada.

Building a more inclusive Canada means recognizing these intersecting identities and ensuring that disability inclusion efforts are inclusive of 2SLGBTQ+ communities, and that 2SLGBTQ+ spaces are accessible and welcoming to people with disabilities. (3/4)
