OCASI (Ontario Council of Agencies Seeking Immigrants) is seeking Allies in Accessibility!
What are Allies in Accessibility?
Allies in Accessibility (AiA’s) are people who are passionate about advocating and working towards creating welcoming, accessible and affirming agencies that benefit im/migrant and refugees with in/visible disabilities and empower the community. This volunteer position recognizes the work that you are already doing in your community, gives you an opportunity to build your skills, contacts, and experience, and connects you with other people doing similar work across Canada.
More information about the role and a link to the application form in English and French is available here.
Searching for government benefits that are relevant to you can feel like wading through a huge ocean of information. With so many benefits programs out there, it can be hard to know where to start.
Introducing the Benefits wayfinder, developed by national charity Prosper Canada and sponsored by TD Bank! The wayfinder is a simple, easy to use, plain language tool that helps you find and track benefits you could get. The information and resources provided are from federal, provincial, and territorial governments, updated on an ongoing basis as new information becomes available.
