The nationwide Participation and Activity Limitation Survey (PALS) is designed to collect information on adults and children with disabilities - i.e., whose everyday activities are restricted because of a health condition or other limitation. Funded by Human Resources and Social Development Canada and carried out by Statistics Canada, PALS provides essential information on the prevalence of different disabilities, the types of support available to people with disabilities, their employment profile, income and participation in social activities.
