Access 2 Card
What Is It?
The award-winning Access 2 Card national program was launched in 2004 with support from Cineplex Entertainment and a group of national disability organizations. The Access 2 Card program helps to ensure that entertainment, cultural and recreational opportunities are more available and accessible to all. Managed and administered by Easter Seals Canada (located in Toronto), the Access 2 Card program has grown to reach over 100,000 Canadians who are living with disabilities and includes over 500 participating partner venues across the country.
Who Is It For?
The Access 2 card is for people of all ages and types of permanent disabilities who require the assistance of a support person at hundreds of participating entertainment, cultural and recreational venues across Canada. A support person is an adult who accompanies a person with a permanent disability to assist with services that are not provided by the employees at the participating venue, such as assistance with eating, administering medication, communication and use of the facilities.
How Does It Work?
The Access 2 card costs $20 for 3 years, or $30 for 5 years and is valid at all participating venues during that time. The Access 2 cardholder (the individual with a permanent disability) presents the Access 2 card at one of the participating venues and pays the regular admission price. The Access 2 cardholder receives 1 FREE or discounted admission for their support person.
