Disability Pride Month, observed every July, honours individuals with disabilities, celebrating their identities and contributions to society. The event seeks to transform perceptions of disability, promoting it as a natural facet of human diversity. Established in the United States in July 1990 alongside the Americans with Disabilities Act, Disability Pride Month is now recognized globally, including Canada, where 22% or 6.2 million Canadians live with disabilities. Embrace Disability Pride Month by proudly displaying the Disability Pride Flag, a symbol of unity and empowerment for all.
The Disability Pride Flag is a powerful symbol of this celebration. It features a muted black background, symbolizing the challenges faced by individuals with disabilities, and five parallel stripes in red, gold, white, blue, and green. Each colour represents a different aspect of the disability experience, making the flag a comprehensive representation of the diverse disability community: red for physical disabilities, gold for neurodivergence, white for invisible and undiagnosed disabilities, blue for psychiatric disabilities, and green for sensory disabilities.
