People with Disabilities

RBC believes that full inclusion is in the best interests of our communities and our countries.We support programs that help create employability and remove barriers to education for people with disabilities. In 2007, RBC Foundation donated $1.3 million to organizations supporting people with disabilities, including:

  • H'art Studio's "College Bound" program, a non-profit initiative that provides literacy, computer literacy and life skills training for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities in Kingston, Ontario

  • Mental Illness Awareness Week, an annual national public education campaign

  • Canadian Association of Independent Living Centres and their network of 28 Independent Living Resource Centres that work to promote and facilitate methods of saving for post-secondary education among parents with disabilities and parents of children with disabilities.

In the Channel Islands, RBC participated in a number of community initiatives in 2007 that helped improve the lives of people in need. For instance, in Jersey we raised funds to help refurbish Maison des Landes Hotel for the disabled.
