Our Goal
To promote a message of respect, empowerment, and potential
We want to reshape the tone and model of disability advocacy, steering it towards capability and leadership
CDF helps Canadians with disabilities (visible and invisible, including mobility, sensory, cognitive and mental health disabilities) pursue their goals in a more accessible, supportive and inclusive Canada. CDF supports individuals and families from coast to coast in a unified disability community across the country.
Our Mission is Simple
To Unify the Canadian Disability Community
The goal is to reshape the tone and model of disability advocacy, steering it away from neediness and toward capability and leadership.
Systemic change requires targeted and measured action. CDF understands that we cannot be everything to everyone, but that sustained intervention requires focus. Inspired by disability law and policy, our approach is rooted in three areas: inclusion, accessibility and support.
