· A breakdown of the DTC application process
· Resources for finding the right medical professional
· Precautions and considerations to be aware of when using DTC promoter programs
· The connection between the DTC and RDSP
· A general overview of the RDSP
· How the Canada Disability Savings Grant and Bond work
· How government contributions can potentially add up to $90,000 over the beneficiary's lifetime
· How to optimize and make the best use of the RDSP

Did you know that over 8 million Canadians live with a disability? That’s 1 in 4 people across the country.

For many, the cost of living with a disability can be overwhelming. In fact, an estimated 1.6 million Canadians with disabilities cannot afford the essential equipment and medications they need to live independently and thrive.

That’s where Easter Seals steps in. Through vital programs and services—including financial support for assistive technology, training and education, rehabilitative and occupational therapy, inclusive sport and recreation, and accessible summer camps—Easter Seals is helping to remove barriers and create opportunities every day.

Together, we can build a more accessible and inclusive Canada for everyone.

Barrier-Free Alberta is hosting an important conversation on accessibility in Alberta. This event will educate participants about accessibility, the barriers people continue to face, and the limits of current legal protections in our province. Explore the proposed private member’s bill and what it aims to achieve, while centering lived experiences to highlight the real-world impact of inaction. Bringing together perspectives from government, business, and the non-profit sector, this discussion will move beyond awareness — equipping participants with clear, practical steps to help advance meaningful accessibility legislation in Alberta.
ASL will be provided.
