March of Dimes Canada

March of Dimes Canada (MODC), officially the Rehabilitation Foundation for Disabled Persons, Canada is a registered national charity established in 2005 by Ontario March of Dimes.

MODC aims to provide community-based rehabilitation services and resources across the country to people with physical disabilities.

Like its American counterpart, it began in 1951 with the Marching Mothers fundraising campaign to eradicate polio.

After vaccination programs effectively eliminated the threat of the disease, mandates changed to offering programs and services for people of all ages with physical disabilities, particularly in Ontario.

It is also attempting to establish Conductive Education programs across the country, which Ontario March of Dimes imported to Canada from Europe in the 1990s.
