In the face of the COVID-19 pandemic, our organization swiftly adapted to meet urgent community needs. Utilizing our existing printing machinery, we repurposed our equipment to produce high-quality masks. This innovative pivot not only helped protect the health and safety of Canadians but also demonstrated our commitment to resilience and resourcefulness during challenging times.

Your Donation Builds a Better Canada
Following the success of Phase 1, we are now fundraising for Phase 2 to advance accessible workspaces. We collaborate with organizations to ensure workplaces are inclusive for everyone, promoting diversity and equal opportunity. Our efforts include installing ramps, implementing braille signage, and converting contracts and manuals into alternative formats for businesses
At Embrace Unity Canada, one of our core causes is partnering with law firms to fund free legal aid for individuals facing hardship. Together, we ensure equitable access to essential support, empowering communities through impactful initiatives.
During COVID-19, we took proactive steps to ensure accessibility for all. We transformed essential reading materials into online formats and alternative options such as large print or braille. These materials were then mailed to membership holders of organizations like CNIB, RAPLIQ, and DABC, spreading crucial awareness and information where it's needed most.
