Right to Live Canada is a virtual-office based Canadian non-profit start-up working to realize the right to live as a practical, supported, and executable choice.

Our work began in response to cases of poverty-driven euthanasia among Canadians with disabilities, where individuals seek MAiD due to the absence of essential supports required to continue living. We are building Continuity — a service, financial, technological, and institutional framework designed to help people remain connected to preferable living futures.

Our core areas include Continuity Service, Continuity Insurance, Social Brokerage, and Corporate Farming — developing scalable systems, partnerships, and initiatives that support the right to live.
