Join us for the International Day of Persons with Disabilities (IDPD), an annual event established by the United Nations to raise awareness about the challenges faced by persons with disabilities. This day serves as a reminder of our collective responsibility to better understand disabilities and promote the rights and well-being of persons with disabilities in our communities. This event is open to everyone and will include a resource fair of supports available for those with disabilities, a Mayor’s Challenge highlighting the difficulties people with disabilities navigate everyday, a silent disco with special headphones to showcase adapting for peoples’ needs & the launch of special initiative for hidden disabilities. This event grew from ideas from people with disabilities & groups who support them.
