December 3rd is International Day of Persons with Disabilities (IDPD), a day to advocate for the full and equal participation of persons with disabilities in all aspects of society and promote their dignity, rights and well-being.
IDPD 2025’s theme is “Fostering disability inclusive societies for advancing social progress.” Individuals with disabilities continue to face systemic barriers, from higher rates of poverty to employment discrimination, and limits to autonomy. At St.Amant, our work is grounded in supporting people with developmental disabilities to live meaningful lives and fully participate in an inclusive Manitoba.
Looking for a way to recognize IDPD? Join us at one of the fantastic events taking place throughout the week.
