Mr. Speaker, Easter Seals Ontario was established 100 years ago in my hometown of Windsor thanks to the vision of Rotary clubs, including our own Rotary Club of Windsor (1918). Easter Seals has grown into a national organization that supports countless children with disabilities through programs, camps and funding for mobility equipment. More importantly, Easter Seals has been a steadfast champion for building a Canada that is more inclusive and barrier free. This November, Easter Seals celebrated its centennial by hosting events, including Windsor-Essex's 40th Annual Easter Seals Telethon, which raised an incredible $235,000. This Saturday will mark the International Day of Persons with Disabilities. Join me in celebrating 100 years of Easter Seals Ontario and celebrating the remarkable volunteers back home and across the nation who are building a more inclusive and better Canada.
