Accessible Playground Grant (City of Regina)

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.

Status: Closed

Gouvernement du Québec (ministère de l'Éducation)

Quebec provincial program that funds certified nonprofit overnight camps to become more accessible and welcoming for people in poverty, people with disabilities, and people with particular limitations, including accompaniment services for campers with disabilities.

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

Status: Closed

Gouvernement du Québec (ministère de l'Éducation)

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. Only the recognized IRLPH (an ARLPH or a URLS) in each region can apply, so this is relevant to a small, fixed set of organizations rather than the general nonprofit public. The current intake is closed; the next application period dates are to be announced. Contact: paflph@education.gouv.qc.ca.

Allocation exceptionnelle pour l'intégration (AEI)

Status: Open

Ministère de la Famille (Québec)

Québec measure that pays subsidized childcare services and subsidized home-based providers for the additional accompaniment hours a child with a disability needs, where those hours are not fully covered by the existing integration allowances (AIEBP and AISG). In force since September 1, 2026, replacing the Mesure exceptionnelle de soutien à l'intégration; no new MES application can be made for 2026-2027. The 2026-2027 budget rules recognize three accompaniment hours per day of occupancy for a child eligible for Retraite Québec's benefit for children with disabilities, six hours at tier 2 of its companion benefit for children requiring exceptional care, and eight hours at tier 1, each multiplied by $30.43; the rate and the three tiers are confirmed for childcare centres, subsidized garderies, and home-based childcare in the 2026-2027 budget rules. No deadline is published for a first-time claim. Eligibility is retroactive to the date the child qualified for the benefit for children with disabilities, but never earlier than September 1, 2026, and the 2026-2027 amount is calculated on occupancy from September 1, 2026 to March 31, 2027. October 15, 2026 is the renewal deadline for children who held an acquired right under the MES in 2025-2026 and need added hours; a later filing is treated as a renewal without changes, no additional hours can be granted, and a renewal without changes is due by February 28, 2027. Subsidized educational childcare services and home-based childcare coordinating offices obtain advances through the ministry's AEI form, which covers September 1, 2026 to March 31, 2027 and is refiled before the tenth of a month only when a change affects the monthly payments.

Allocation pour l'intégration en service de garde (AISG)

Status: Open

Ministère de la Famille (Québec)

Québec allowance paid to subsidized home-based childcare coordinating offices and providers to reduce the barriers to integrating a child whose impairment causes a significant and persistent incapacity. It funds management of the child's file and implementation of the integration plan, including technical aids, specialized equipment and materials, adaptation of standard materials or of the premises, staff training and replacement, and additional staff to support the child within the group. Services from a professional or specialized firm providing regular, continuous individual rehabilitation are not eligible. The 2026-2027 budget rules set a one-time lump sum of $2,200 for a child newly registered from April 1, 2026, made up of a $1,800 provision for equipment or premises adaptation and $400 for file management, paid to the coordinating office, plus $52.19 per day of occupancy paid to the provider. The occupancy amount is capped at the equivalent of one subsidized place per provider, and that cap increases when more than one eligible child from the same family attends. This allowance now applies to home-based childcare only: for centres de la petite enfance and subsidized garderies it is being replaced from 2026-2027 by the Allocation pour l'intégration des enfants ayant des besoins de soutien particulier. The Allocation exceptionnelle pour l'intégration tops up accompaniment hours this allowance does not fully cover.
