Capable Con’s return is the headlining event for Peterborough’s National Accessibility Week celebration.
For its third year, the free-to-attend event will be offering large-scale board games and on-site vendors in the parking lot of the Venture North building, as well as interative experiences curated by The Council for Persons with Disabilities (CPD).
We spoke with CPD’s Marketing Coordinator – Jason King.
Most notably, the event will once again offer a handful of opportunities to experience The Council for Persons with Disabilities’ (CPD) Virtual Reality Simulation of the Time in My Shoes Program, which is a firsthand perspective on the daily challenges faced by many individuals.
New this year, participants can check out Canopy Services’ sensory tent. King tells us what that is.
The event is scheduled to conclude National Accessibility Week. The week raises awareness about accessibility and inclusion of people with disabilities in Canadian communities and workplaces. In 2024, National Accessibility Week takes place from Sunday, May 26 until Saturday, June 1. King talks about what what he thinks Peterborough does right.
The event begins on June 1st from 10 A.M. to 2 P.M.
