March of Dimes Canada

March of Dimes Canada is one of the largest community-based service providers for over 6 million people living with physical disabilities in the country. For nearly 70 years, March of Dimes has provided a wide range of programs and services to maximize the independence and community participation of people with physical disabilities, offering services to seniors and the medically fragile, as well as services to families, caregivers, and employers.

With the global pandemic causing a crisis of isolation for Canadians living with disabilities, March of Dimes Canada has played a vital role in offering online programs to help people live as independently as possible, providing opportunities for learning, skill development, and social connection with a community of peers. Usually held in locations throughout the community, these virtual workshops, one-on-one sessions, and larger gatherings are often the only face-to-face contact people have with others in a day or week. AMS conducted a LEGACY BUILDER™ campaign to help ensure that donors will be leaving their mark to change lives for children and adults with physical disabilities to provide services promoting inclusion, choice, and control where they work and live.
