Greater Sudbury Proclaims World Cerebral Palsy Day

The City of Greater Sudbury has proclaimed October 6, 2026, World Cerebral Palsy Day. We thank Mayor Paul Lefebvre and the City for recognizing the contributions of people with cerebral palsy and encouraging residents to help build a more accessible, inclusive community.

Her powerchair opens possibilities

Brooke loves the freedom her powerchair gives her. Her family shared how excited she was to drive around the bases while playing challenger baseball. OFCP helped her access a chair that supports her mobility and independence.

This World Cerebral Palsy Day, the change we want to see is better access to mobility equipment that fits the person and the life they want to lead.

Everyone belongs on the water

For Diana, paddling is time on the water with a team that welcomes her. Support from the Ontario Federation for Cerebral Palsy’s LEAF program helped her take part in the Wai Nui Outrigger Club in Oakville, where coaches, volunteers and fellow paddlers have made her feel at home.



This World Cerebral Palsy Day, the change we want to see is more opportunities for people with cerebral palsy to take part in sport and community life.

The right equipment, when it’s needed

Sofia needed custom ankle-foot orthoses, but their full cost was not covered. OFCP helped her family pay the remaining portion so she could get equipment that supports her comfort and movement.



On World Cerebral Palsy Day, Sofia’s story points to a change many families need: better access to essential equipment without a funding gap standing in the way.

Support that responds to real life

Over the years, OFCP has helped Ryan with equipment and practical needs, including a hospital bed, a commode, an iPad and groceries. He has shared that without this funding, he would have faced greater hardship.



World Cerebral Palsy Day is a time to listen to people’s varied needs. The change we want to see is support flexible enough to respond to the realities of daily life.

50 million people

Thank you to the City of Timmins

Thank you to the City of Timmins and Mayor Michelle Boileau for proclaiming October 6, 2026, World Cerebral Palsy Day! 💚

Individuals with cerebral palsy bring diverse talents and contributions to our communities, yet many still face barriers to full participation. The Ontario Federation for Cerebral Palsy is proud to stand with Timmins in calling for greater awareness, accessibility and inclusion across Ontario.

Independence can begin at the front door.

For Athena and her family, stairs created a daily barrier. With support from the Ontario Federation for Cerebral Palsy, the family installed a vertical porch lift that allows Athena to enter and leave her home more safely and independently.

The lift has reduced the physical strain and stress surrounding every outing while giving Athena greater confidence and dignity. It has also given her family peace of mind.

This World Cerebral Palsy Day, help OFCP support practical solutions that remove barriers and make inclusion possible.
