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 2008, RBC Foundation donated $1.15 million to organizations supporting people with disabilities, including:

  • 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

  • Prism Centre for Audiology and Children's Rehabilitation in Chatham, Ontario, to provide audiology and children's rehabilitation services, including medical clinics, occupational therapy, physiotherapy, pool recreation, social work, respite care and others

  • Valley Therapeutic Equestrian Association which provides therapeutic horseback riding for children and adults with all forms of disabilities

  • Grandview Children's Centre, which helps children and youth with special needs or disabilities to achieve their personal best.
