Message from the CEO and Board Chair

On behalf of March of Dimes Canada, we are thrilled to present to you this year’s annual report, entitled No Limits: Celebrating Strength, Inspiring Change. This year has been a remarkable journey of growth and impact, and we are filled with immense pride as we reflect on our accomplishments and share them with you.

Over the past year, we have made substantial strides in our mission, supporting and engaging more people with disabilities than ever before. Our innovative programs and services have grown in reach and impact, while our relentless advocacy has continued to break down barriers and advance disability rights. From communities across the country, to international stages like the G7 Ministerial Meeting on Inclusion and Disability, March of Dimes Canada is playing a powerful role in fostering a more inclusive society for all.

The achievements highlighted in this report are a direct result of the remarkable community support that drives our mission. To our service users and their families, our wide community of partners and supporters, and our dedicated staff and volunteers, we extend our heartfelt appreciation. Your unwavering commitment and partnership are the bedrock of our successes.

Thank you for standing with us to create a world where there are no limits to what people with disabilities can and do achieve. Together, we will continue to inspire change and celebrate strength.


With gratitude,

Lee Bennett
