On October 18, we were pleased to officially launch a 20 minute documentary about our program, @throughrufftimes This documentary was made by two very talented friends of our organization, Arlene Moscovitch and David Atkin. The film explores the what, hows, and whys of our program, which is dedicated to supporting and honoring the relationship between people and their pets.

We were incredibly heartened to see all the support for this film and our program on Wednesday! Thanks to everyone who came out to show their love for TRT ❤️

If you missed it, you can watch the full documentary on YouTube here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aCu9OHkMoGs

🎨SCREEN PRINTING GROUP 🎨

We had a lovely screen printing group this past summer, where clients got to make their screen, create their design and print it onto any material they wanted!

It was wonderful to see all the creativity, and teamwork our clients have to share! Here are some photos of the process and end result of the screen prints, great work folks!! 🫶🏾 by @breakawaycs

“CAROLINE: I'll see you there
Some day, that place in time
It might be on the banks of La SEINE
Or in a desert on The MOON
I'll see you there, some day, that place in time
It's a deal, for sure”

Doopees – Some Day, That Place In Time

tender again, again, and again, and again. This one on sept 27 from 11 am - 7 pm @ breakaways services.

also! we are in dire need of funding as resources are dwindling and organizers, volunteers, and practitioners are offering their time and skills for free! to keep this gng - we have no formal funding and require contributions from those who have means to sustain TA.

this is a direct service that responds to the city’s disposability of those ensnared within structural poverty. pls ETF tenderagaincommunity@gmail.com as we continue to build this political project. we also welcome foods + drinks + support of any kind. taken in Breakaway Community Services by @breakawaycs

As Ford and the government continue their attacks on the most marginalized disabled folks (including and especially disabled migrants, houseless folks, and folks who used safe consumption sites (SCS)), it is more necessary than ever to fight for our community members who are most impacted, whose only real difference is stigma and safe supply. There is no scarcity of access; they are trying to divide us, and true liberation does not exist when we leave people behind. Rest in peace and power to every soul lost to carceral drug policies and the closure of SCS’s; you should still be here.

Image Description: This is a poster for Toronto Disability Pride March’s 15th anniversary march. At the top left, it reads 12 September 2026, 1-6 pm. On the top right, it reads Queen’s Park to Grange Park. Below is the title in black text on orange rectangle text bubbles; it reads “15th year of Toronto’s Disability Pride March”. Around the title are four hands of differing skin tones finger-spelling TDPM, and below, a QR code that leads you to TDPM.org. Below it features TDPM’s four founders with raised fists overlaid atop black and white photographs meant to look like film slides. From left to right is Kevin Jackson, an Indigenous man wearing a brown cap, rectangle glasses, and a shirt jacket over a T-shirt and jeans. Melissa Graham, a white woman with black glasses, a blue scarf, black coat, and jeans; sitting in her electric wheelchair. Janet Rodriguez, a Peruvian woman with a green top with a landscape-patterned vest, a coral long skirt, and a coral side bag. And Beverly Smith, a Black woman with a pink tuque, a multi-colour patterned scarf, a turquoise sweater, and a blanket on her lap as she sits in her electric wheelchair. At the very bottom, under text that says access guide; it has our social media handle @TorontoDisabilityPrideMarch and our website www.TDPM.org.
