"57% of Canadians with disabilities have a ‘mild or moderate’ disability and 43% have a ‘more severe’ disability (classified as having a severe or very severe disability). In all cases, the disability was severe enough to limit them to some extent in their daily activities (Statistics Canada, 2017)."
Join the conversation about what it means to live with a disability this month. #paintthecityburgundy
More than 6.2 million Canadians—almost 22% of the population in this country—aged 15 years and over are living with some form of disability that affects their level of freedom, independence or quality of life. This number does not include figures for prevalence of disabilities among children and youth under 15 years old which means that the number of Canadians who are living with disabilities is even higher (Statistics Canada, 2017).
This month is Paint the City Burgundy for Disability Awareness, join us in wearing burgundy to show your support and help us fight the stigma against people with disabilities.
Special thanks to the Edmonton International Raceway in Wetaskawin for the superstar treatment on Saturday! We had a blast watching the races, meeting the racers and hopping in the cars.

Do you or someone you know have mobility challenges that limit their ability to enter or move around their home? If so, you might be eligible for this grant through the Alberta Government!
We know that being able to independently navigate the spaces you enter is extremely important in developing independence and increasing quality of life. As such, we wanted to share this resource with you.
