The Hidden Disabilities Sunflower program
The Region of Durham is proud to support the Hidden Disabilities Sunflower program, a globally recognized initiative that helps individuals with hidden disabilities discreetly signal that they need extra assistance, support, or time while attending public spaces.
About the Hidden Disabilities Sunflower
Not all disabilities are visible. Many individuals live with conditions that are not immediately apparent, such as chronic pain, autism, dementia, mental health conditions, or hearing and vision impairments. The Hidden Disabilities Sunflower program enables individuals to voluntarily wear a Sunflower pin, discreetly signaling to Region of Durham staff that they may need extra support.
How to request a Sunflower pin
The Region of Durham offers Sunflower pins free of charge. Customers can request a pin by completing the online service request below, emailing 311@durham.ca or by calling 3-1-1.
Requests are limited to one per person and are available to Region of Durham customers only. Once your request has been received, a staff member may contact you to confirm the details of your request. If you have questions about the program, please email 311@durham.ca or call 3-1-1.
