What will it take to end disability poverty?
Register today for the the 17 Annual Policy Forum on Inclusion
Dec 3, 2026.
https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1HR37jBftZ/

A life of poverty should not be the expectation for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

Most people want the same things, like a safe place to live, enough money to meet their needs, the opportunity to work and save, and the freedom to make choices about their own lives.

On December 3, we're asking an important question: “How do we move from helping people get by to creating opportunities for them to get ahead?”

Join People First of Canada and Inclusion Canada in Gatineau, Quebec, for a conversation about poverty, financial stability, and meaningful change.

🍂 Hello, November! 🍁

💚 November is Indigenous Disability Awareness Month!🧡

Did you know that November is Indigenous Disability Awareness Month in Canada?

Indigenous people with disabilities face many more barriers and challenges .Often, getting support, accessing services, or just having their voices heard isn't always easy.

Everyone deserves to be treated with respect, make our own choices, and be part of our communities. That should not be any different for Indigenous people with disabilities.

At People First Nova Scotia, we believe everyone deserves to have a say in decisions that affect their lives.

💚 We may all have different experiences, but everyone's voice matters.
this month gives us as a chance to listen, learn, and better understand the barriers Indigenous people with disabilities may face.

Nothing About Us With out Us!
