Canada hasn’t seen this many measles cases since 1991.

We’ve put together a resource page with clear answers, vetted science & shareable content:

#DisabilityPrideMonth - Disabilities are part of the diversity of human experience, not a problem to be solved. Despite progress, ablest biases and barriers remain pervasive and prevent many people with disabilities from achieving their full potential. Inclusion benefits us all.
The top half of the image has a black background with white text reading Disability Pride Month 2025 and a flag with parallell diagonal colourful bands crossing the centre, over a dark grey background. Below, a legend shows the meaning of each colour in the flag. Green: sensory disabilities, Blue, emotional & psychiatric disabilities, gold, neurodiversity and red, physical disabilities.
