White Rock, V4B 0A1
EQUITAS is a national, non-partisan organization formed to support injured Canadian soldiers suffering life-long disabilities. EQUITAS discovered that disability support program imposed on Canadian soldiers as of 2006 - called the “New Veterans Charter” - does not provide the same level of compensation and benefits awarded under workers’ compensation programs across this country. It has unacceptable deficiencies when compared with the pension and disability support program in effect until five years ago. Because the New Veterans Charter short-changes many of those injured in service to Canada: - we are raising public awareness, because the compensation ﹠ benefits situation currently applied to hundreds of disabled soldiers is unfair and unjust; - we are raising the funds essential for expensive lawsuit disbursement costs; and also, - we are working to provide additional funds for programs to help disabled soldiers transition back into society at their fullest potential.Lambton County Developmental Services - LCDS

Seba Beach, T0E 0B9
Camp HeHoHa exists to provide safe and rewarding recreational opportunities for children and adults with mental and physical disabilities. In the late 1950’s, it was evident that there was a need for a recreational facility for people with disabilities. The Kiwanis Club of South Edmonton strongly supported the concept and spearheaded the project. A committee of Kiwanis members consisting of Bob Sewell, Dr. Ken Gordon, Walter Bates and Norm McBeth was formed to select a permanent site and to establish a camp especially suited to meet the needs of children with mental and physical disabilities. In 1959, these committee members approached the Provincial Government with their project. It was approved in principle, and the Government directed them to a 107acre parcel of property located on Lake Isle that was accessible by boat only. This site was selected, and lease arrangements with the Department of Lands and Forests was drawn up. A plan was developed to attract other groups that were involved in work with people with disabilities to join in the effort to achieve the goal of the Kiwanis Club. The Alberta Council consisted of representatives from the Kiwanis Club of South Edmonton, the Associated Canadian Travelers Club of Edmonton, the Diabetic Association, and the Edmonton Cerebral Palsy Association. These organizations contributed varying amounts of money to get the project started, and with donation of buildings from Imperial Oil Ltd. and the construction of a Medical Centre by Mr. ﹠ Mrs. Muttart, the Camp commenced operation in 1960. The Camp became an instant success! Today Camp He Ho Ha provides recreational opportunities not only for children with disabilities, but also for adults of all ages with every type and degree of disabilities. Camp He Ho Ha has emerged as a first-class facility providing first-class services. In the last 50 years, it has come a long way! It has grown from the old oilfield camp bunkhouses to a very modern facility consisting of 24 hotel-style rooms, 8 hostels, beautiful meeting rooms, and a wonderful dining room where delicious home-cooked meals are served. It boasts of an incredible wheelchair accessible indoor swimming pool, an 18 hole mini-golf course, a “state of the art“ 3-sided 40 foot climbing wall, a high ropes course, a low wheelchair accessible ropes course, and much more.Rocky Support Services Society

Promoting a new opportunity for people dependent on wheelchairs to access the sport of golf with a paragolfer standup chair!!. After a spinal cord injury left my son, Walid, paralyzed in a wheel chair we both thought his days swinging a club on the golf course were over. One day while searching on the internet we discovered Anthony Netto and the chair he designed so that he could golf again after an injury put him in a wheelchair. This past September, my son’s dream to golf again after a spinal cord injury took away his ability to walk in 2012, came true thanks to the Sunshine Foundation of Canada and Anthony Netto, founder of the Stand Up and Play Foundation and co-designer of the ParaGolfer. The experience of watching my son participate in a sport that he had assumed he would only enjoy as a spectator was truly priceless. The ParaGolfer gave my son the opportunity to stand up and play the game he so loves. The partnership with the La Costa Golf resort in Carlsbad, California allowed him access to a golfer’s paradise and the chance to rub shoulders with other golfers as he fine tuned his swing on the driving range and championship golf course. Finally the mentorship and coaching of Anthony Netto, someone who did not allow his inability to stand become a barrier to playing golf, gave my son the opportunity to maximize his ability to golf as a paraplegic. From the realization of Walid’s dream now comes an even bigger dream, a dream to make golf an accessible sport in British Columbia. The formula to make this possible consists of first of all getting the ParaGolfer on to courses throughout British Columbia so that they can be used by anyone with mobility challenges and then to maximize these local initiatives by creating a provincial group that advances golf as an accessible sport with a focus on golf schools, clubs, workshops and even tournaments.Chalets U

Ensemble, réinventons l’autonomie. Intégration sociale Notre service d’intégration répond aux besoins des personnes ayant une lésion de la moelle épinière de tout le Québec en assurant une présence continue à l’Institut de réadaptation en déficience physique de Québec (IRDPQ), à l’Institut de réadaptation Gingras-Lindsay de Montréal (IRGLM) et au Centre de réadaptation Lucie-Bruneau (CRLB). De manière ponctuelle, nous assurons une présence dans les autres centres de réadaptation physique ainsi que dans les hôpitaux faisant partie des centres d’expertise pour les blessés médullaires. MÉMO-Qc offre différents services qui permettent aux personnes concernées de mieux vivre la réadaptation et l’intégration sociale à la suite d’une lésion médullaire, et ce, en complémentarité avec les établissements du continuum de services de l’Est et de l’Ouest du Québec. De plus, nos conseillers en intégration, qui sont eux-mêmes blessés médullaires et peuvent ainsi faire profiter à leurs pairs de leurs expériences et acquis, peuvent soutenir, accompagner et informer nos membres tout au long de leur vie, selon le besoin. Employabilité Notre service d’employabilité accompagne des personnes ayant des limitations physiques ou neurologiques dans leur processus de recherche d’emploi ou de retour aux études. L’objectif premier de nos conseillers est d’amener les personnes à développer de l’autonomie dans leurs démarches, de promouvoir leur intégration sociale et, surtout de favoriser leur maintien en emploi. Défense des droits et intérêts collectifs MÉMO-Qc s’occupe de sensibiliser le public, les décideurs politiques et les employeurs à la condition du blessé médullaire et des personnes vivant avec un handicap. Nos conseillers peuvent également accompagner sur le plan individuel des membres dont les droits ne sont pas respectés. De surcroît, la prévention des blessures médullaires est une de nos grandes préoccupations. Soutien à la recherche MEMO-Qc a aussi pour mission de soutenir des chercheurs québécois et, par sa fondation, d’amasser des fonds pour appuyer des projets lui permettant de relever des défis dans trois axes précis : la guérison des lésions médullaires; l’amélioration de la qualité de vie des lésés médullaires; la prévention des blessures médullaires. Historique: Après la Deuxième Guerre mondiale, des anciens combattants fondent l’Association canadienne des paraplégiques. En 1946, une section québécoise de cet organisme voit le jour. La première grande préoccupation de celle-ci a été de développer des traitements et des protocoles de soins pour maintenir ses membres en santé. Grâce au travail acharné du Dr Gustave Gingras, fondateur de la section québécoise de l’ACP, cette volonté se traduit par la création de l’Institut de réadaptation de Montréal (IRM) en 1949. Dans les années 60, l’intervention auprès de tétraplégiques s’impose comme un nouveau défi que l’Association relève avec succès. En 1978, la division québécoise de l’ACP devient l’Association des paraplégiques du Québec. Parallèlement à ces priorités, l’Association se consacre, dès ses débuts, à la réintégration sociale et professionnelle des personnes blessées médullaires. Elle vise leur retour à la vie active. Un service de soutien offert par des pairs est donc mis à leur disposition tout au long de leur démarche de réadaptation et d’intégration. L’Association travaille aussi à la promotion des intérêts de ses membres et à la diffusion d’informations pertinentes dans ce domaine. Elle offre également les conseils d’un centre spécialisé de ressources humaines appelé Mode d’emploi, fondé en 1972. Ce dernier permet non seulement aux personnes blessées médullaires, mais à un grand nombre de personnes ayant des limitations fonctionnelles physiques ou neurologiques, de retourner aux études ou de réintégrer le marché du travail. Outre le travail individuel avec les membres, afin de les aider à atteindre leurs objectifs d’intégration sociale et d’autonomie, l’APQ a été l’instigatrice ou encore a collaboré à la création de plusieurs programmes gouvernementaux, de projets novateurs et de campagnes de sensibilisation et de promotion. Pour ne donner que quelques exemples, l’APQ a contribué à la création de l’Institut de réadaptation de Montréal (IRM) en 1949. Dans les années 60 et 70, elle a participé à la création des programmes d’insertion à l’emploi pour les personnes handicapées. Au cours des années 80, elle organisé d’importantes campagnes de sensibilisation et de promotion des droits des personnes handicapées. De plus, dans les années 90, elle a été l’instigatrice de la création des centres d’expertise pour les blessés médullaires. Elle a aussi contribué à la mise sur pied d’autres organismes communautaires, dont Viomax et l’Association québécoise des sports en fauteuil roulant (AQSFR). En 2010, l’APQ unit ses forces avec la Fondation pour la recherche sur la moelle épinière et devient Moelle épinière et motricité Québec (MÉMO-Qc). Outre le travail dans les champs de l’intégration sociale et professionnelle, de la promotion des droits et de la sensibilisation, l’organisme intervient aussi désormais dans le soutien à la recherche scientifique. Actuellement, MÉMO-Qc compte plusieurs centaines de membres et donne des services à plus de mille personnes chaque année. Par sa mission, elle vise à améliorer tous les aspects de la vie des personnes ayant une lésion de la moelle épinière et elle milite pour que leur autonomie ainsi que leur participation aux diverses strates de la vie sociale et économique deviennent un fait accompli. Aujourd’hui, il est permis aux personnes vivant avec une lésion médullaire d’envisager l’avenir avec optimisme.DDRC (Developmental Disabilities Resource Centre of Calgary)

The Pacific Autism Family Network (PAFN) is a centre of excellence and network of supports for individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder and their families across the province. The Pacific Autism Family Network (PAFN) is a centre of excellence and network of supports for individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder and their families across the province. The PAFN’s core purpose is to be a Knowledge Centre: Bringing together state of the art resources for research, information, learning, assessment, treatment and support; and building capacity to address the lifespan needs of individuals with ASD and related disorders. The PAFN will build upon existing lifespan services while at the same time addressing the need for support and services across the province. Serving British Columbians and ultimately all Canadians is a priority of the PAFN. The centre of knowledge and innovation involves the development of the hub in Richmond and spokes located in communities across the province, in collaboration with local community partners. The spoke centres will have full access to the expertise and information services offered at the hub. Fusing individualized “person-centred” values with the best of what technology and research can offer, the PAFN will represent a truly new vision for treating and supporting persons with autism in our province, as families, governments, healthcare, education, and the communities come together to link research, teaching and direct care. Right now, especially for families in remote parts of the province, there are just not enough specialized resources available locally to help them. The PAFN will be the first organization of its kind dedicated to knowledge creation and knowledge translation targeting applied models that can easily be shared and disseminated to families on the ground. It will be a place that will attract a whole new generation of thinkers and researchers – the people who will bring to life innovative, practical, and effective clinical programs, which up until now, have not been developed due to limited access to an environment that fosters interdisciplinary collaboration over the long term. The project is being sponsored by the not-for-profit Pacific Autism Family Network Foundation and will be operated by the Pacific Autism Family Centre Society, collectively referred to as the PAFN. The PAFN initiative is a grass roots project created by the BC autism community with a goal to bring together a collaboration of services to fill the service and resource gaps in BC and Canada. The planning of the PAFN has been an inclusive and collaborative process involving families, individuals with ASD and related disoreders, clinicians, community professionals, researchers and representatives of goverment within the framework of the PAFC Advisory Committee. The PAFN will be an important addition to the resources available to families with children or adults on the autism spectrum and related disorders in BC.Vecova Disability Services- Research - Enterprise

Carers for the mentally and physically challenged
Toronto, M3C 0C1
This partnership is the first to prioritize dialogue and Indigenous knowledge in research regarding disability rights and monitoring by Aboriginal adults and youth with disabilities. Please join us!. Expanding the Circle is a project focused on expanding the conversation about what access to human rights looks like for Indigenous, First Nations, Aboriginal, Inuit and Métis people with disabilities in Canada. This name acknowledges that we honour all of our relations and ancestors who came before us and the future generations that will benefit from our actions today. We are grateful that Indigenous, First Nations, Aboriginal, Inuit and Métis people have added their knowledge to the worldwide efforts towards the entrenchment of the rights of persons with disabilities. Expanding the Circle builds upon the work of Disability Rights Promotion International (DRPI website, http://drpi.research.yorku.ca/). This three year project was funded by Social Sciences and Research Council (SSHRC). It was made possible by its steering committee, partners, monitors, site coordinators and the people who agreed to engage as research participants. We especially want to thank the Centre for Independent Living Toronto (CILT), Grand Council Treaty #3 and Historic Saugeen Métis (HSM) who took on significant leadership throughout this project. Indigenous, First Nations, Aboriginal, Inuit and Métis people with disabilities historically, and at present, experience exclusion and various forms of discrimination. This discrimination may take place at the level of individual interactions and at a higher, systemic level, by their needs not properly being addressed in laws, policies, programmes and budgets. Expanding the Circle conducted interviews to learn from people’s first-hand experiences and completed systemic monitoring to have a larger context to understand those experiences. The data collected through individual and systemic monitoring identifies the gaps between guarantees offered in the law and the actual experiences of Indigenous, First Nations, Aboriginal, Inuit and Métis people with disabilities in their daily lives. The systemic monitoring revealed that Indigenous, First Nations, Aboriginal, Inuit and Métis people with disabilities have the same rights as other Canadians, in relation to things like access to healthcare and education. This is supported through international, national, and provincial treaties and legislation. However, what this means in theory and in practice differs. Location between urban and rural Ontario as well as reserve or off-reserve and social networks shape the ability to access rights. A significant barrier accessing rights as an Indigenous, First Nations, Aboriginal, Inuit and Métis person with disabilities is often due to the complexity of navigating complicated policies and programmes and services. This is in part due to a complex legislation and funding system that is dependent on the disability status of Indigenous, First Nations, Aboriginal, Inuit, Métis. There is a lack of accountability on the part of the various governments regarding who was to provide services. While people spoke about difficulties in accessing services, primarily, they spoke about wanting to be treated with dignity and respect. People spoke about being treated differently from others because they were seen as unworthy as an Indigenous, First Nations, Aboriginal, Inuit, Métis and/or a person with a disability. Through a holistic approach to monitoring, we are able to understand that many people face barriers in education, health, work and in social participation. Not only do people have to navigate a complex system to try to find what their rights are and how to access them, but they also face attitudinal barriers such as discrimination, racism and disrespect along the way. Many people spoke with pride for who they are as an Indigenous, First Nations, Aboriginal, Inuit and Métis person with disability. People acknowledged having positive experiences of accessing their rights in family and community networks. This reminds us to look at what is working and support these existing systems.Association pour personnes handicapées visuelles de l’A-T

MindWare is a small private school that specializes in helping children with learning disabilities not only learn, but succeed. MindWare Academy opened its doors in 2005 to meet the needs of students with learning disabilities. We are located in a quiet neighbourhood in the west end of Ottawa, close to a beautiful park. This allows our students to receive plenty of fresh air and exercise everyday. MindWare was founded on the belief that all children deserve to be treated with respect and kindness. When this happens you achieve amazing results. Tired of watching children with learning disabilities struggle and slip through the cracks, our teachers have developed programs that empower students. Through remediation of skills, a multisensory approach and a structured environment, students overcome many of their challenges and flourish. By definition, children with learning disabilities are of average to above average intelligence. They deserve the chance to graduate and go on to college or university. For many students in a traditional learning environment, this is a dream that never happens. MindWare has made the difference in the lives of our students. Most of our graduates re–enter the system for grade 9 at either the applied or academic level. With some accommodations they are able to achieve marks on par with their peers. MindWare’s first graduates have entered college and/or university. We are confident that their successes will continue.Wheelin’ Mobility
