Information and Advocacy Program
About this resource
The Information and Advocacy Program provides information about government, social and community services and programs to people with disabilities, families and caregivers, professionals and the community at large.
Program advocates can assist you with applications for income support programs like Persons With Disability Income Assistance (PWD) and CPP Disability. They can assist with a range of processes and forms, including those related to health, housing, equipment, tax rebates and more.
Advocacy is provided to people with disabilities being denied access to programs and services. We also work with other agencies and advocates toward ensuring that all citizens have access to employment, education, housing, and a fully engaged life.
