July is Disability Pride Month, to celebrate the history, achievements, and experiences of the disability community.

Disability isn’t caused by a person's diagnosis, but arises when environments, systems, or attitudes are inaccessible or inflexible.

One in four working-age Canadians (27%) has a disability, up from 2017, with mental health and pain-related disabilities seeing the greatest increase. And with disability rates increasing with age, including temporary conditions, most of us will experience some type of disability in our lifetime.
