The Cause

“Easter Seals has shown me that I can do anything!” 11 year old Hayley Redmond

 

Hayley is just one child who has benefited from the services of Easter Seals programs and services. Thanks to the help of supporters like you, Easter Seals has been able to provide inclusive and engaging opportunities for Canadians with disabilities through summer camps and active living programs, as well as specialized mobility and access equipment.

Easter Seals is committed to enhancing the lives of people with disabilities. At our fully accessible camps, kids and youth learn about themselves and the potential of their abilities. The facilities are designed to ensure that everyone, no matter their disability, has the support they need to have the time of their lives, gain confidence and a sense of independence, challenge themselves and cultivate meaningful friendships.

They are asked to get out of their comfort zones to overcome fears and try new things.

The summer camps have what you would normally expect: camp fire stories and songs, swimming, kangaroo court, structured activities and so on. But have you ever attended a camp with a climbing wall, high rope course or giant swing – all fully accessible to kids with disabilities? Or how about a camp with a counselor to camper ratio of three to one?

Every summer, more than 6,000 kids attend one of 22 Easter Seals camps. We also offer active living opportunities throughout the year, which include sport and social activities.

By committing to raise a minimum $1500- you are providing transformative opportunities for people with disabilities in your province.

Thank you for making a difference!

For more than eighty years, Easter Seals, a registered charity, has been dedicated to serving Canadians with disabilities, striving to ensure that no one is left behind. More than 100,000 Canadians and their families annually access programs and services provided by Easter Seals organizations across Canada.

In addition to camp and active living, Easter Seal services include the provision of specialized mobility and access equipment such as mobility aids, assistive technology, adaptive computers, augmentative communication devices and adaptations to homes and vehicles for wheelchair accessibility.
