Council of Canadians with Disabilities
Disability without Poverty was formed in early 2021, as a national movement of self-advocates, specifically targetting the Canada Disability Benefit. Holding national information sessions, via Zoom and webinars, including voices from across the country and disability communities, they continue to encourage an open conversation about the proposed benefit.
