Event Speakers
We’re excited to welcome speakers Lawrence Khouri, Nicholas Sicard, The Hon. Jim Munson, and The Hon. Mike Lake who will be joined by his son, Jaden.
We are making progress! In 2023, there were two Acts in progress in Canadian Parliament that will have a positive impact for autistic people:
An Act respecting a federal framework on autism spectrum disorder (S-203) is in progress.
An Act to reduce poverty and to support the financial security of persons with disabilities (C-22) is also in progress. "When the Senate passes Bill C-22, it has Royal assent and becomes law! A major step closer to getting money in the hands of disabled people!" - Disability without Poverty, 2023 Everyone is welcome.
In honour of Autism Awareness Month, Autism on the Hill was created in 2013 by Suzanne Jacobson, a grandmother of two Autistic boys.
