From September to December for our third annual Hacking for the Holidays campaign, we’re engaging volunteers — students, corporate partners, and other community members — in 80 build events across 10 provinces to help us adapt and donate 2,000 toys and switches to families and clinicians all over Canada.
As part of our #HackingForTheHolidays campaign, Neil Squire’s Makers Making Change program donated over 20 assistive devices to the Early Childhood Intervention Program (ECIP) Regina Region.
“She has some sense of independence when she can play with this, she doesn’t have to rely on any of us to turn it on for her.”

Over the course of three Youth Making Change workshops with Makers Making Change, Grade 9 drafting students at Linden Christian School in Winnipeg put their drafting skills in action to make a difference for children with disabilities.
