Originally founded in 1951, Ontario March of Dimes has been on the forefront of the disability movement for more than 60 years. In 2005, the operating name of March of Dimes Canada was registered as a national charitable organization to begin the expansion of our programs and services nationally.
March of Dimes Canada provides Information & Advocacy Services on behalf of all Canadians with disabilities. In addition, our Grants & Awards, fundraising and awareness events are held across the country. March of Dimes Canada participates in many conferences and symposiums nationally. Partner products such as TravelAbility Insurance, eSSENTIAL Accessibility, Give and Get, and others are available to everyone, regardless of province.
Some programs and services, awards and conferences are also available outside of Ontario:
