To the left, a distinctive blue sign with white lettering reads "Easter Seals House" above a smaller sign for "Lions" with its logo. In front of the building, three whimsical, colorfully painted orca whale statues in various poses add a playful and artistic touch to the scene. The clear sky suggests a bright, sunny day.](https://melangeandco.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Easter-Seals-House-in-Vancouver-BC.jpg)
Easter Seals Canada
easterseals.ca
Inspired by the formation of the National Society for Crippled Children (later Easterseals) in the US three years earlier, Easter Seals in Canada had its beginnings in the province of Ontario on November 28, 1922, when 10 representatives from seven Rotary Clubs throughout the province came together to form the Ontario Society for Crippled Children (later Easter Seals Ontario). As was the case with their US counterpart, this organization’s concern was the lack of services and resources available to children with physical disabilities, and its goals were to ensure adequate treatment and raise public awareness about the needs of these children. Over the next 34 years, similar organizations that would eventually become part of the Easter Seals family were established across Canada. In 1937, the Ontario Government turned to Easter Seals for expert assistance following a devastating poliomyelitis (polio) outbreak. That same year, Easter Seals in both Ontario and Nova Scotia opened the first Canadian adaptive camps for children with physical disabilities. Today, Easter Seals and its ten independently governed provincial affiliate organizations have offices and provide programs and services to people living with disabilities in provinces and territories all across Canada.
