September is Arthritis Awareness Month in Canada. According to the Arthritis Society of Canada, approximately 6 million Canadians have arthritis, and nearly 1 in 2 people over 65 have arthritis.

This year, we’re marking five years of the Makers Making Change Assistive Device Library. Over the years, the Assistive Device Library has evolved. We wanted to take a look at how far we’ve come.
Our team has been hard at work over the past few months to develop a new web experience for Makers Making Change.
We’d like to give a big welcome to one of the newest Makers Making Change chapters, the Center for Assistive Technology and Communication Hawaii (CATCH).
