Dear Friends,

We are pleased to share with you many inspiring stories and noteworthy

achievements from what has been yet another remarkable year for Easter Seals

Canada. The stories provide some insight into the experiences of thousands of

children, youth, adults and families across the country whose lives have been

positively impacted by the many programs and services provided by Easter Seals

Canada and Easter Seals member organizations.

Our Access 2 Card Program, aimed at reducing social isolation among people with

disabilities by increasing access to cultural and recreational venues, experienced

steady growth this year as we processed more than 15,000 new membership cards.

Easter Seals Canada continues to advocate and provide leadership on accessibility

issues. We were involved in consultations on the Federal government’s new national

accessibility legislation, Bill C-21, which intends to “identify, remove and prevent”

accessibility barriers and bring about greater inclusion for those living with

disabilities.

We remain resolved in achieving our vision, mission and goals with financial

responsibility and respect for donors in mind. We finished the year with a modest

surplus, positioning the organization to take on new challenges and opportunities in

the future.

As we look to the year ahead, we are intent on increasing public awareness of Easter

Seals and the vital work we do in communities from coast to coast. We will also be

embarking on the creation of a new strategic plan that will bring the organization

towards its centennial anniversary in 2022.

These accomplishments stem from the support and commitment of many

stakeholders, and we are privileged to be in wonderful company. Our sincere gratitude

to donors and partners whose contributions make our work possible. We also warmly

thank and acknowledge our Board of Directors and the many tireless staff and

volunteers across the country for their dedication in making a positive, meaningful and

lasting difference in the lives of people who are living with disabilities.

Stories from across the country

Weighing only two pounds and ten ounces, Marco Pasqua

was born three months premature in 1985. He was soon

diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy and began his early

childhood both shaped and defined by his wheelchair.

Little did Marco know when he was greeted at Easter

Seals Camp in British Columbia for the first time at the age

of five, his experience at Camp would set the path for his

future. At Easter Seals camp, Marco wasn’t the only one

with a disability but more importantly, he wasn’t defined

by his wheelchair. Instead, it was a place where he was

encouraged to push himself beyond his idea of ‘disability’

and learn to adapt the world around his abilities.

Marco spent the next ten summers at camp swimming,

canoeing, playing wheelchair basketball and performing in

talent shows, as well as developing his skills, confidence

and a sense of independence. He also made friendships

that extended beyond the weeks at camp and gave him a

feeling of understanding and community that he hadn’t

found elsewhere.

Today, Marco says that Easter Seals Camps influenced his

passion for inclusivity and helping others. He uses the

values taught at Camp about overcoming hurdles and

fulfilling your dreams to propel his life and career.

Marco now works as an advocate for inclusivity and

is an active spokesperson for numerous disability

organizations across Canada. The confidence and

passion for life that he started developing at Camp

at age five has been his guiding force throughout

his career.

“Being around other kids

like me made me feel like I wasn’t alone. Everyone

was encouraged to take pride in and use their

abilities to the fullest.”

Marco Pasqua

Every summer, more than 6,000 children, youth, and adults who are living with disabilities attend one of Easter Seals’ accessible summer camps across the country. These often life-changing summer camps provide participants with opportunities to enjoy many typical fun summer camp experiences and take on new ones that they may not have had the chance to do before. Camps help participants build their skills, confidence, and life-long friendships; and empower them to see their talents and abilities in new and exciting ways.

At six months old, Michelle Regehr was diagnosed with

cerebral palsy and faced challenges in muscle control and

fine motor skills development, which ultimately affected

her ability to walk and talk. Thanks to an adapted

communication device Michelle acquired through the help

of a team of supports including Easter Seals, those

challenges do not hold her back. She’s able to

communicate, remain independent and live a full,

rewarding life.

“When she was able to turn on her television for the first

time, you can’t imagine the emotions. I mean, we all just

take for granted that anybody can turn on a T.V. She was

all of a sudden in charge of her own environment for the

first time,” said her father, Al.

Michelle has been accessing Adaptive Technology services

offered by Easter Seals Saskatchewan since 1977. At that

time, she was using a head pointer and a sheet of symbols

to communicate. Fast forward to today where she’s using

one of the most advanced and innovative devices in the

country.

A small grey dot placed on Michelle’s forehead operates

an infra-red sensor connected to her device and allows

her to communicate with the world around her. Aside

from letting her select words, phrases and emotions to

share, the device also allows her to control aspects of

her external environment, including her television, fan,

lamp, and depending on the season, her Christmas

tree!

Michelle’s communication device has enabled her to

do so much! She’s now able to stay connected with

extended family, express herself, exercise her

independence, and further integrate into the

community. She is one of thousands of people who are

living with disabilities who benefit from the ongoing

support, expertise and training provided through

Easter Seals’ adaptive technology services.

“It’s done unbelievable

things for her self-worth, confidence and her ability

to communicate with family, medical staff and

the community.”

Al Regehr, Michelle’s father

Assistive and adaptive technologies such as mobility equipment and communication devices, as well as home modifications such as ramps, elevators and ceiling track systems, enable individuals living with disabilities to maximize their abilities, exercise their independence, communicate and actively take part in their communities. Each year, thousands of people across the country benefit from the assistive equipment and adaptive technology supports provided by Easter Seals.

(Above): Michelle Regehr may use a device to help her to communicate but there’s no mistaking her radiant personality, which shines through in her wide and beautiful smile.

Twenty two-year-old Shailynn Taylor has always dreamed

of becoming a lawyer so as to champion the human rights

of people living with disabilities. She is presently a fourth-

year student at Mount Royal University in Calgary where

she’s enrolled in a Bachelor of Criminal Justice degree

program. She’s tenacious, driven, and has overcome many

obstacles and barriers to be where she is today.

When she was just eighteen months old, Shailynn was

diagnosed with Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA), a rare

degenerative genetic disease—similar to ALS—that occurs

in infants and young children. Doctors did not expect her to

live past 12 years old as SMA has no known cure and is

often fatal.

Despite the diagnosis, Shailynn continues to defy

expectations. She says, “I grew up in a happy home with

countless opportunities and lots of hope for what my

future would entail; always pushing the short life

expectancy I’d been given to the side.” She requires

assistance with daily activities which most Canadians take

for granted—such as getting in and out of bed, getting

dressed, cooking and cleaning—but has never allowed the

disease to define her. Shailynn says defiantly, “I never saw

myself as disabled and rarely felt there was something that

I couldn’t do.”

She remains focused on her goals. “I can honestly say I

would not have been able to continue with my

education if it hadn’t been for the generous [Phyllis

Davidson Easter Seals Scholarship] I received from

Easter Seals Alberta. The scholarship allowed me to

focus on my health and my studies instead of the stress

of finances and how I would afford not only school, but

also the additional expenses my disease leads to as

well. Expenses like a $150 wheelchair repair or a $1000

new part for the only vehicle I can be transported in.

My family would often find themselves scraping

together the money required to keep me moving

forward. This scholarship not only relieves my stress

but my family’s as well, and we will forever be grateful

to Easter Seals for making this life I love so much

possible… Despite living with such an ugly disease, my

life is so beautiful.”

“...I would not have been

able to continue with my education if it hadn’t

been for the generous scholarship I received

from Easter Seals...”

Shailynn Taylor

Running Towards the Roar Easter Seals Alberta

For many bright individuals who are living with disabilities, the ever-increasing cost of post-secondary education can present a huge barrier that stands in the path of their success and aspirations. Along with help to cover the cost of expenses such as tuition fees and textbooks, scholarships and bursaries from Easter Seals also help cover added expenses that are unique to those living with disabilities: specialized equipment, technologies, and supports that are required to make learning and success possible.

Kyle Kearney joined the Horizons Work Experience

Program offered by Easter Seals Newfoundland &

Labrador in August 2017 with the goal of securing his

first ever job. He wanted to gain employability skills,

learn about professional dynamics and meet friends, all

while completing his university degree.

“When I first started the Horizons Program I must admit

I really didn’t know what to expect,” says Kyle. “From

day one, however, I knew it would be life changing, and

an opportunity to meet new people and make friends.

There were so many things I learned and I met so many

wonderful people throughout the program that have

helped me both in the workplace and everyday life.

Even though I have a formal education, I don’t think I

had enough “street smarts ” or social skills to make it in

the working world. This program gave me that and

more; from first aid training to learning how to better

budget both my time and money.”

“One of my favorite activities that will stay with me for

the rest of my life was the invaluable experience I

gained through the mock interview process. Volunteers

from the St John’s Board of Trade came to help with our

skills training session, to better prepare us for questions

that could be asked during an interview and help us

with the interpersonal skills that are needed while at

work.”

Kyle made great progress throughout his time in the

program, and through a lot of hard work, patience

and perseverance, he secured a full-time, permanent

position in his field with a local business. He

graduated from Horizons in March 2018, and has not

let up since. His colleagues praise his work ethic and

positive attitude, and we at Easter Seals are

incredibly proud of Kyle and all of his success.

“All of the training and support from the

coordinators and staff who help run the Horizons

Program was key…[they helped me secure] a work

term which has now become a full-time job. This is

where I use not only what I have learned from my

formal education, but also the lessons and skills I was

taught throughout the program, and I will always be

truly grateful for that.”

“There were so many things I learned and I met so many wonderful people throughout the program

that have helped me both in the workplace and everyday life.”

Kyle Kearney

According to statistics and studies, many adults who are living with disabilities face multiple barriers and challenges in securing employment. Easter Seals provides employment services and skills training, and on-the-job learning opportunities through social enterprise initiatives that assist adults in developing valuable and transferrable workplace skills which they can utilize to secure meaningful and

gainful employment in a number of different industries and in their career of choice.

National events and activities

The Drop Zone is Easter Seals’ annual, signature fundraising event. Each year, thousands of superheroes take part in this knee-shaking, heart-pounding, adrenaline-pumping adventure that encourages ordinary Canadians to get out of their comfort zone and face their fears by rappelling from the top of a towering high-rise building—all in support of fellow Canadians who are living with disabilities.

The Drop Zone

In 2017, approximately 500 participants took part in Drop Zone events in ten cities across Canada: Vancouver,

Calgary, Edmonton, Saskatoon, Regina, Winnipeg, Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal and Halifax. The events raised

over $997,000 last year to help fund the vital programs and services offered by Easter Seals. For more

information about The Drop Zone or to sign-up, visit www.thedropzone.ca.

Each spring, retail partners across Canada take part in Easter Seals’ Paper Egg Campaign where they encourage Canadians to make a donation to Easter Seals by purchasing a Paper Egg at store check-out counters. The month-long campaign helps raise funds for Easter Seals while raising awareness about the organization and its mission.

The Paper Egg Campaign

Hundreds of thousands of people from coast-to-coast showed their support for Easter Seals by purchasing a

Paper Egg during last year’s campaign. Participating retail locations then put up the signed Paper Eggs on store

walls and windows—creating a powerful display of support for Canadians who are living with disabilities. This

past year, the campaign raised more than $500,000 for Easter Seals.

Access 2 Card Program

The award-winning Access 2 Card program is a partnership between Easter Seals Canada and hundreds of entertainment, cultural, recreational and other venues across Canada. It is aimed at increasing access and inclusivity for individuals who are living with permanent disabilities—by waiving the admission costs to these venues for their support worker.

Since launching in 2004, the Access 2 Card program has emerged as a national leader in promoting social

inclusion and opportunities for the disability community. There are presently over 57,000 active card holders

across the country. In the past year, approximately 300 new Access 2 cards were issued each week. For more

information about the Access 2 Card program, visit www.access2card.ca.

Spotlight on our National Partners

CENTURY 21 Canada is one of Easter Seals’ longest-standing National Partners. Since choosing Easter Seals as

raising awareness and critical funds for Easter Seals through its annual “Kids to Camp Program.” Network

Members and Companies are encouraged to make personal donations to Easter Seals, take part in Easter Seals

fundraising events, or organize their own. As an added motivation, Members who raise a minimum of $2,100

each year are inducted into the exclusive Kids to Camp Club (see list on page 14). In 2017, CENTURY 21 raised

approximately $760,000—enabling over 350 kids to attend and benefit from Easter Seals Camp.

“...We are concerned with more than real estate; we are dedicated to improving the communities that our customers, and System members, call home. Easter Seals is our charity of choice, and our System members have contributed $114 million globally in support of families living with disabilities.”

Friends of We Care—made up of a

network of over 80 companies in the Food

Canada’s largest National Partner. Each year, Friends of

We Care raises over $1 million through various special events

and donations to help send kids who are living with disabilities

to Easter Seals’ accessible summer camps. The organization

and its members are passionate in their goal to help children

and youth who are living with disabilities succeed. In 2017,

Friends of We Care raised over $1.3 million for Easter Seals,

making it possible for over 630 kids to attend camp, where

they’re then empowered to build their skills and confidence,

and forge life-long friendships and memories.
