The Ontario March of Dimes
provides the services so necessary
to-improving-the quality of life for
these handicapped adults. The
services provided by the 'March 'of
Dimes are not duplicated by any •
other agency, government or
otherwise. That's why . your
support of their Annual Campaign
is° so vital. .
In accepting the role of Provinc-
ial Honorary ChairMan for the
' March of Dimes 197¢ Campaign,
Darryl Sittler commended ' 'the
Foundation for its work, especially
• in areas of camping and recreation.
The March of Dimes lait year
operated five summer camps where.
' physically disabled men and wont-
en enjoyed all the usual fun-in-the-
sun aCtiVities: swimming, fishing,
target shooting, archery, - and
hayrides! For many' it , was their
first' opportunity to escape frOrn
within 'the confines .of their four .1 .
lwalls and participate fully 'in the
holiday community.
• The provision of braces, respira-
tors, wheelchairs, and other aids to
daily living are also available
through the Ontario March of '
Dimes. In some instances, ramps,
indoor and outdoor, have been built
to allow greater freedom of access
for the wheelchair user.
Although the March of Dimes is
in its 25th year of service • to
Ontario's physically disabled adult
poPulation, "much remains to , be •
'done'‘, says Darryl. "The area of
community development is emerg-
ing as . a breakthrough towards
integration of the disabled into
their respective communities". •
Community. Development is the
arm of the March of Dimes which
encourages participation by the
disabled in group activities such as
yoga, or basketball, or civics
classes, or bridge clubs, or any
other project which they 'themselv-
es feel they want to pursue. March

workers help get them' started,
often providing "seed money" for
projects which later become, self-
sustaining:' • ,
