Our favourite day of the year is only one week away! That’s right, the grills will be fired up, the mugs will be cold and frosty, and $2 from every @awcanada Teen Burger® sold across the country will support Canadians affected by #MS. 🍔

MS Canada wants the Disability Tax Credit to work for those living with MS, but first, we want to hear about our community’s experience. Have you applied for it and what was the process like? Please let us know in our survey, available until July 9. bit.ly/3RS8TMY

1.6 million Canadians with disabilities live below the poverty line. New numbers released by the federal government say the Canada Disability Benefit will only lift about 25,000 adults out of poverty, despite promises made by a federal minister. cbc.ca/news/politics/canada-….

It's #WorldMSDay! Did you know that every 5 minutes, someone, somewhere in the world is diagnosed with MS, but there are many barriers to timely diagnosis. Let's work together to change that. #TakeActionForMS @MSCanOfficial @MSIntFederation

Happy MS Walk Day! 🚶👟👨🦽 Over 90,000 Canadians know what life with #MS is like. Today our community will come together from coast to coast to raise awareness and show that no person living with MS is alone.

THANK YOU to everyone who helped kick off #MSAwarenessMonth on Parliament Hill! Our team members and volunteers spent three days meeting with over 60 Parliamentarians to discuss the impact of #MS on Canadians. We’re left with feelings of momentum and hope. #TakeActionForMS

Dernièrement, nous avons rencontré le premier ministre @JustinTrudeau pour discuter des retombées des récentes avancées de la recherche, ainsi que de la prévention de la SP, laquelle constitue désormais un objectif réalisable plutôt qu’une aspiration lointaine.

We recently met with Prime Minister @JustinTrudeau to talk about how recent research advances are changing the future of MS and how we are now at a point where MS prevention is more than an aspiration, it’s an attainable goal.

It's time to fully fund the Canada Disability Benefit and make it inclusive of Canadians with episodic disabilities @cafreeland @MSCanOfficial #TakeActionForMS @Disability_WP
As @cafreeland prepares to deliver the #federalbudget on Apr 16, a new survey conducted by @angusreidorg in partnership with #DailyBreadTO & @Disability_WP finds: 'Overwhelming support' for disability benefit complicated by slow implementation, @CTVNews: ctvnews.ca/politics/overwhel…

A new study by @angusreidorg finds 9 in 10 Canadians support a fully funded Canada Disability Benefit. It needs to include an inclusive definition of disability encompassing all disabilities, including those that are invisible and episodic #TakeActionForMS @MSCanOfficial

As you know, I firmly believe in the importance of the Canada #Disability Benefit.
I advocated for it in the beginning and I want you to know that I haven’t stopped. I won’t stop until it’s a reality.

Every person deserves a life of dignity. People with disabilities continue to struggle. An adequately funded CDB is the key to reducing disability poverty. Let's demand funding NOW! #FundTheBenefitNow
