Dear friends,

We are excited to announce that the Canadian Council on Rehabilitation and Work (CCRW) is one of 11 organizations across Canada to receive funding through a historic $30 million donation from the Slaight Family Foundation. The donation allows CCRW, in partnership with the Rick Hansen Foundation (RHF), to embark on a groundbreaking five-year collaborative project.

This initiative will advance inclusion and accessibility for persons with disabilities by:

• Removing barriers to accessibility.
• Educating the next generation of disability and inclusion champions.
• Transforming society through innovation, awareness, and collaboration.

By combining RHF’s expertise in accessible environments with CCRW’s leadership in fostering disability confidence among employers, this project aims to create a more inclusive Canada.

At CCRW, our impact continues to grow:

• We have engaged with 934 businesses across Canada.
• We support an average of 640 job seekers annually.
• We have achieved 93% growth in LinkedIn following last year, with monthly impressions averaging 17,105.

This transformational investment is a testament to the critical work we do and the potential we have to create a more inclusive society.

Thank you for your continued support. Together, we are breaking barriers and building brighter futures.

Best, Maureen Haan
President & CEO
Canadian Council on Rehabilitation and Work (CCRW)
