CALS2026: Financial Accessibility Bursary

Thank you for your interest in attending the 12th Annual Canadian Autism Leadership Summit (CALS2026)!

Autism Alliance of Canada is committed to hosting an accessible Summit that ensures everyone has the opportunity not only to attend but also to participate meaningfully.  As part of our commitment to accessibility, we are pleased to introduce the CALS 2026 Financial Accessibility Bursary. This limited bursary is designed to help reduce financial barriers and support the meaningful participation of first person (Autistic) or second person (caregiver or support person).

Support From Air Canada Foundation

This year, we are grateful for the generous support of the Air Canada Foundation, which has donated airline tickets to assist first person (Autistic) or second person (caregiver or support person) participants traveling to the Summit. This contribution enhances our Financial Accessibility Bursary Program, to reduce travel barriers enabling greater participation in the national conversation on autism leadership.
