This workshop provides useful information and tools to help individuals navigate the complex system of federal, provincial, and workplace benefits.
We will cover:
- Identifying and accessing the programs that fit your needs
- Federal disability benefits (CPP-D, Disability Tax Credit, EI, and more)
- Provincial disability and welfare programs
- Workplace and union benefits (short- and long-term disability)
- Support for workplace injuries and illnesses

Whether you’re applying for support, advocating for yourself/others, or simply looking to understand your options, this workshop will equip you with the knowledge and tools to take the next step with confidence.
