According to the World Health Organization, around 16 percent of the world’s population, just over one billion people, are living with a disability. In Canada, research shows that up to 30 percent of Canadians are living with a disability. That includes people with mental health conditions, mobility issues or visual and hearing loss. It also includes people who may not fall under traditional definitions of disability, such as those with auto-immune or other chronic conditions.
