BIST is proud to be part of an advocacy campaign with other provincial brain injury associations asking for a benefit that would allow those on OW and ODSP to afford basic internet – something we believe is a necessity especially during Pandemic times.

As such, we have contacted our local MPP, Dr. Jill Andrew, MPP Toronto St-Pauls with the following letter which you can read, HERE.
