About March of Dimes Canada 

March of Dimes Canada is a leading national charity committed to championing equity, empowering ability, and creating real change for more than eight million people with disabilities across the country.  

We serve, connect, and empower people living with disabilities so they may participate fully in life, and on their own terms. Our work is grounded in the voices of the people we serve, built on a foundation of service, and backed by a 75-year history of success. 

We’ve proven time and again our dedication to addressing the ongoing and urgent needs of people living with disabilities and their families and caregivers. In the 1950s, March of Dimes Canada helped in the global effort to find a cure for polio. We’ve since evolved to become a recognized leader in disability service design and delivery, supporting tens of thousands of people at home, work, and in communities across the country. 

Now, inspired and guided by our community, we are focusing our efforts even further. Together with our clients, partners, supporters, and allies, we are creating communities in which people living with disabilities can not only live but thrive in all they aspire to do. 

Our Board is currently made up of 17 Directors and there are eight Board Committees. The Board and its Committees support the work of our executive leadership team, which oversees more than 2,000 employees nationally.
