Southwest Spotlight: Shamil Sohail
March 22, 2024 | Southwest Ontario
Every year Easter Seals Ontario selects two young people to represent the organization and advocate on behalf of children and youth with physical disabilities. We are proud to announce 16-year-old Shamil Sohail as one of our two 2024 Provincial Easter Seals Ambassadors. Shamil is not your average teenager; he's a dynamic individual with a passion for justice and a heart dedicated to making a positive impact on the lives of individuals with disabilities.
Born with spina bifida, a congenital condition affecting his spine and lower body, Shamil navigates the world with the assistance of a power wheelchair. Despite facing physical challenges, Shamil is largely independent in his activities, thanks to the support from his family and Easter Seals Ontario. Shamil, with his infectious humour, love for adventure is set to make waves as a 2024 Easter Seals Ontario Provincial Ambassador, sharing that he wants to be a source of inspiration and a voice for those who are yet to find theirs.
