We are proud to stand in solidarity with the Indigenous community as we recognize Indigenous Disability Awareness Month (IDAM) this November.

We honour the rich contributions of Indigenous Peoples with disabilities in Canada and acknowledge the unique barriers they face.

We invite our families, partners and friends to join us in learning, celebrating and advocating for inclusion and respect for all.

Neil Squire Society would like to join countless provinces, organizations, and communities across Canada and internationally in declaring the month of November as Indigenous Disability Awareness Month.

November 2025 marks the 11th Anniversary of Indigenous Disability Awareness Month (IDAM) in Canada and internationally. Created in 2015 by Indigenous Disability Canada/British Columbia Aboriginal Network on Disability Society (IDC/BCANDS), IDAM recognizes the overwhelming contributions Indigenous Peoples bring to all our communities, as well as highlighting the unique barriers they often face.
