Joan Macdonald works with the city of Calgary as a project coordinator for parks and development. She will focus the exciting developments in inclusive parks in Calgary, including accessible facilities for those parks. There will be some discussion on the process in developing accessible recreation sites and how the public can provide input into their creation and design.
Karen Dommett is the program manager at Calgary Adaptive Hub (CAH). CAH’s goal is to create inclusive opportunities for recreation and sport for children in Calgary. She will talk about how their work is about connecting families to accessible recreation and she will highlight some opportunities that currently exist.
