We use technology, knowledge and passion to empower Canadians with disabilities.

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.
Thanks to your support, we reached our #HackingForTheHoliday campaign goals, raising $108,685 and delivering 2,519 toys to children with disabilities across Canada.
Thanks to your support of our #HackingForTheHolidays campaign, we were able to adapt two Linkimals toys — a sloth and a penguin — with adaptive switches that match the buttons on the toys. These switches allow Evie to play with the toys with a smacking motion on her own rather than needing someone else to activate the toy for her.
Through our #HackingForTheHolidays campaign, Laurence received a switch-adapted toy cat, as well as a variety of switches she could use. Laurence especially loves that the toy cat has two switches and she can decide whether to make it walk or meow.
Here’s a look at some of the toys we are hacking as we head into the holiday season. (This list is not exhaustive, just a look at some of our favourites).
