Updates

This is an ongoing project with many updates as we work to spread awareness, raise funds, and educate on inclusive play.

New Posters are Available!

Posters and postcards are available for pickup at KidsInclusive reception at Hรดtel Dieu Hospital. The posters share information regarding donations and they have a QR code for online donations through CanadaHelps. They are a great way to spread the word about inclusivity and The Inclusive Play Project. They can be posted in classrooms as an educational resource, supplied as handouts, etc.!! We are working hard to to reach our funding goal and we appreciate all of the assistance so far!!

The Inclusive Play Project Art Exhibition

In celebration of International Disability Day, The Inclusive Play Project is organizing a kid’s art exhibition! Artwork that is created by students will be displayed at The City of Kingston Accessibility Awards Ceremony. Volunteers will pick up any artwork on November 20th. We are encouraging students to get creative while showcasing a theme of “what does accessibility mean to me?”.
