RICK HANSEN FOUNDATION

In 1985, Rick Hansen set out on the Man In Motion World Tour - a 26-month, 40,000 kilometre journey through 34 countries that challenged perceptions of disability and inspired a movement for accessible and inclusion.

RHF works to remove barriers for people with disabilities through leadership, collaboration, innovation, education, research, and community action. Our work focuses on:

- Driving systems change so accessibility and inclusion are embedded from the start;
- Advancing accessibility in the places where people live, work, learn, and play;
- Bringing together lived experience, research, industry, government, and community to develop practical solutions;
- Creating, more accessible spaces through innovative programs and initiatives;
- Supporting research and innovation that improve quality of life for people with disabilities;
- Inspiring future generations of accessibility leaders.

Today, 1 in 4 Canadians has a disability, and that number is expected to grow as our population ages. Disability is part of the full spectrum of human diversity and can affect anyone. Despite significant progress, barriers continue to limit access, independence, opportunity, and belonging for millions of people.

Help us accelerate action and drive transformational solutions across Canada and create a world without barriers.

Together, anything is possible.
