Happy International Women’s Day! A challenged world is an alert world and from challenge comes change. So let's all choose to challenge. How will you help forge a gender equal world?... Celebrate women's achievement. Raise awareness against bias. Take action for equality. Today we are celebrating the amazing women in the #HamOnt brain injury community who have inspired and continue to inspire us every day! #IWD #IWD2021 #ChoosetoChallenge #ABI

The Hamilton Brain Injury Association mourns the passing of Walter Gretzky. All of us at HBIA wish to express our deepest condolences to The Gretzky Family. Wally was a great friend to HBIA over the years, supporting us with his time and generous donations to our fundraising initiatives. Many of us got to know Wally personally and will greatly miss him. He always had time to chat, a smile on his face and a gleam in his eye.

Many of our members have expressed the importance of having support groups like ours to relieve social isolation.

We are so grateful for the support of our sponsors and community who continue to make the work we do possible. We’ve made so many amazing memories and friendships throughout our seven years in our Clubhouse space! Here are a few of our favourite memories at 822 Main Street East - share yours in the comment section below.

As we continue to navigate our organization through the COVID-19 pandemic, we have made the very difficult decision to close our physical space known as the Clubhouse. As reflect on the impact this has had on the ABI community of #HamOnt, we want to assure the public that our mission and values stay strong and individuals living with brain injury will continue to be supported by HBIA. #community #supportingABI #virtualprograms
