In honour of Autism Awareness Month, QuickStart Autism Founder and President, Suzanne Jacobson created Autism on the Hill - to continue fostering autism awareness and acceptance.
A highly anticipated part of Autism on the Hill is our Faces of Autism banners, showcasing the faces of Canadians with autism from coast to coast. The banners will be on display during Autism on the Hill.
Come and join us to hear our autistic speakers share their important messages.
This year, we have coordinated Autism on the Hill to take place while the Canadian Autism Leadership Summit is taking place in Ottawa (April 14-16 2026).
Attendees from the Canadian Autism Leadership Summit will be in attendance at this year's Autism on the Hill event. We share a goal of a National Autism Strategy including care throughout the lifespan across Canada.
