#Disability #advocates are set to gather in downtown #Toronto Thursday morning to not only mark the historic win of the #Canada #DisabilityBenefit, but to gather support in improving it for #PeopleWithDisabilities.
Brad Evoy, one of the organizers behind the rally, says they'll kickstart the morning by making posters and listening to advocate speeches before rallying in front of federal #FinanceMinister #ChrystiaFreeland's office.
The new Canada Disability Benefit will lift about 25,000 adults out of poverty, according to new numbers released by the federal government — a figure well short of the hundreds of thousands the government said the benefit would help when it introduced the legislation in 2022.
