Charitable Beneficiary Easter Seal Society,
Ontario
Formed in 1922 as the Ontario Society for
Crippled Children, it was inspired by the desire
to assist children with physical disabilities and
to raise funds to make it possible for these
children to receive the skilled help they
needed. Today over 20,000 children, youth and
young adults in Ontario live with a physical
disability and they are striving for
independence, acceptance, and achievement. For 80
years The Easter Seal Society, Ontario has been
assisting these children and youth by helping
them purchase costly equipment needed for
mobility and communication, and by providing
access to critical information, research, and
specialized camp and recreation programs,
including Choices our new summer experience
funding initiative. We are dedicated to helping
kids with physical disabilities succeed. There
are 144 children/youth in Halton region that
benefit from the services Easter Seals provides.
57 of those children live here in Burlington.
