Autism on the Hill

When: Annually in April (date changes each year)

This year's rally was held on Wed, April 30th, 2025 at 12:00pm

Where: Centennial Flame at Parliament Hill

Each year Autism on the Hill is held in April around World Autism Awareness Day.  We invite our Members of Parliament and our Senators to attend and show their support for people with autism and their families. QuickStart Autism held our first Autism on the Hill rally in 2013.

This rally is held each year on Parliament Hill and showcases our Faces of Autism banner, featuring the beautiful faces of people with autism from across Canada. 

We invite people with autism or their caregivers to submit high-resolution photos for our Faces of Autism banner.

Submit Photos for the 2025 Faces of Autism Banner

Photo submissions are now closed for 2025. Thank you to everyone who submitted photos for our 2025 Faces of Autism banner!

It's much easier to relate to people with autism when you see their beautiful faces on the banner every year! It's a reminder that the people are the reason we're on Parliament Hill, asking the Government of Canada for support throughout their lifespan.
