What We Do

Citizens With Disabilities – Ontario (CWDO) actively promotes the rights, freedoms, and responsibilities of persons with disabilities through community development, social action, and member support and referral.  Our primary activity is public education and awareness about the social and physical barriers that prevent the full inclusion of persons with disabilities in Ontario.
