Our next leadership camps are in Spring 2025, in-person in downtown Toronto and online
Promote accessibility, creativity, and inclusivity by hosting a differently-abled craft night in your local community. Artistic individuals with accessibility needs are often discluded from creative activities - break this cycle by hosting a barrier-free, fully accessible, and fun craft night!

How might this help your community?
Many disabled people find artistic activities to be inaccessible, and therefore cannot participate in them. This event will allow disabled individuals to partake in craft activities and express their creative sides.
While allowing people to be creative, this project also highlights the need for barrier-free and inclusive activities.
