By signing and sharing this petition, you can help protect accessible housing for wheelchair users. 🤝 Demand urgent federal action to save the Right Fit Program, which is at immediate risk of shutting down due to a sudden loss of federal funding.

Without urgent action, this proven program will end—leaving hundreds of people with disabilities without the support they need to find safe, accessible housing.

Hello Peers,

We hope you’re enjoying a wonderful and restful summer!

We wanted to pass along an exciting opportunity that may be of interest to you. The Individualized Funding Resource Centre (IFRC), in partnership with EcoWisdom Forest Preserve, Wild About Nature, and Technology for Living, is hosting a special event in Vancouver, BC:

Accessible Nature Therapy – Research Display, Presentation & Program
🗓️ Wednesday, August 13, 2025
🕚 11:30 AM – 3:00 PM
📍 ICORD Lecture Hall, 818 West 10th Avenue, Vancouver, BC

This free community event includes a research presentation highlighting the wellbeing benefits of accessible forest bathing programs, followed by a nature therapy program co-led by certified guides, including Kari Krogh of EcoWisdom. Most of the certified guides live with disability or chronic illness.

We will also showcase award-winning research posters from recent academic conferences.

If you are planning to attend both sections of the event and would like to join us for lunch, please register early, as space is limited.
