Our Vision

Citizens With Disabilities � Ontario (CWDO) is committed to the rights of all persons to participate fully in the civil, cultural, economic, political and social life of their communities.

Our Mission

Citizens With Disabilities - Ontario (CWDO) actively promotes the rights, freedoms and responsibilities of persons with disabilities through community development, social action, and member support and referral. Our primary activity is public education and awareness about the social and physical barriers that prevent the full inclusion of persons with disabilities in Ontario.

Donate to CWDO

CWDO is a not-for-profit organization. We do not have charitable status at this time, and therefore, cannot issue tax receipts.

Your contributions to continue our work are gratefully accepted, and put to good use. You can make a contribution in any amount you choose, through PayPal. There is no charge to you for using their service, and it is very secure.

Please consider making a contribution to CWDO to help us help you remove barriers to full participation.

Together we are stronger!
