Status: Closed

City of Regina (Community Investments)

Funds non-profit organizations to replace or upgrade existing playgrounds, or build new accessible playgrounds, that meet the City of Regina's Accessible Playground Design Standard. Only playgrounds meeting that standard are eligible, which makes this an accessibility-specific program rather than a general recreation grant. The Grant Review Committee assesses eligibility, completeness, and compliance with the Standard. The 2026 intake closed April 9, 2026 with decisions issued by May 29, 2026. Recipients submit a follow-up report within 90 days of the final playground inspection.

Advancing Accessibility Standards Research Program

Status: Upcoming

Accessibility Standards Canada

Funds research projects that inform the development of next-generation accessibility standards within federal areas of responsibility. Two-step process: Expression of Interest, then invited application. Research-only programme, but accessibility-specific. The funder states the next call for funding is in 2027 and that it usually launches a call for Expressions of Interest each spring, so a spring 2027 EOI is a derivation from those two statements rather than a published date. The previously recorded January 16, 2026 closing date and April 2026 to March 31, 2029 project period are not on the current funder page.

Aide financière aux instances régionales du loisir pour personnes handicapées (PAFIRLPH)

Status: Closed

Funds the operations of Quebec's recognized regional leisure bodies for persons with disabilities (IRLPH) so they can improve access to leisure in their region, including staffing, coordination, and volunteer support.
