Vehicle Modification Series

Building on 18 years of experience with vehicle modification events across the province, Spinal Cord Injury Ontario is excited to be hosting “On the Road Again” – their first virtual, Canada-wide Vehicle Modification Show.

This comprehensive online event will provide content that will be relevant to the entire disability community across Canada. You will be able to view a variety of modified vehicles and ask questions to help you find the right vehicle to fit your needs and interests. Both vendors and vehicle owners will be there to showcase the possibilities in vehicle modifications and share their expertise and lived experience. The event will also include vital information about all that it takes to get back “on the road again” – from assessment to driver rehabilitation. Whether you have a new disability, been driving accessible vehicles for 30 years, or are just a passenger, “On the Road Again” will be an event not to be missed.

United Way Responds To Ongoing Social Needs Amplified by Pandemic

Last week, United Way East Ontario invested in 39 programs across Ottawa, Prescott-Russell, Lanark County and Renfrew County to respond to the ongoing needs in our communities exacerbated and amplified by the pandemic.   

As optimism grows with vaccinations and economic reopening plans, United Way recognizes that the social challenges of COVID-19 have not gone away, and many people are still struggling. The $2 million investment will:   

• provide basic needs like food and PPE;  

• support isolated seniors and their caregivers;   
• strengthen mental health supports;  
• address learning loss among vulnerable children and youth;  
• empower community services to continue their frontline work; and  
• build a more equitable recovery from the pandemic.
