About
Easter Seals Québec
Since 2006, Fondation Papillon has proudly served as the official partner of Easter Seals in Québec.
Recognized as Canada’s leading support network for people with disabilities, Easter Seals has been working since 1922 to build a more inclusive society. To fulfill this mission, the organization relies on provincial partners to ensure meaningful, community-based impact.
In Québec, this commitment comes to life through access to adapted camp experiences, offering enriching and accessible stays for people with disabilities. These initiatives, along with other forms of support, help improve the daily lives of individuals and their families.
Guided by respect, Easter Seals strives to ensure that everyone, regardless of their abilities, has the support they need to grow in autonomy and live a full and active life.
