Sunshine's Purpose:

The Sunshine Foundation of Canada has been changing the lives of Canadian children and youth living with severe physical disabilities since 1987.

Sunshine was a part of the Canadian disability rights movement which arose around in the latter half of the 20th century.

This movement included multiple social movements that took a similar but distinct approach advocating civil rights for almost four million people with physical, sensory, and cognitive impairments.

Our purpose is to positively impact the mental health of the people we serve through building confidence, independence, and hope for the future.
