Special Needs & Moving On projects

The Special Needs and Moving On Projects provide resources and support for workers at the post office whose children have disabilities. The projects are available to members of the Canadian Union of Postal Workers and the Union of Postal Communications Employees (Public Service Alliance of Canada). The Special Needs Project is geared to families with young children; the Moving On Project is for adult sons and daughters with special needs. Life is more demanding when you work and have a child with special needs. Learn more about our Special Needs and Moving On projects.

During May, we make a special effort to tell the compelling stories about Canadians with cystic fibrosis and the CF community who fight for them daily to improve their quality of life and search for a cure or control.

Cystic Fibrosis Canada holds two major national events every May in communities across the country to raise awareness and funds: The Great Strides™ Walk  (Sunday, May 27).

Across the country, our chapter volunteers and partners organize and host dozens of other community fundraising events. See our  Event Calendar  of Contact a Community Chapter for more information.

No one likes nagging, yelling and punishing, neither adults who do it nor children who are on the receiving end. Here are a few ways to encourage the kind of behaviour that can make the day go more smoothly for everyone.
Organize to prevent problems
• Organize the environment to make it easy for children to do the right thing. For example, install coat hooks and toy storage shelves where children can reach them; put away breakables.
• Provide enough appropriate supplies and materials for everyone.
• Supervise carefully, be observant and act to change the situation before behaviour gets out of control.
