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.
