Grande Prairie will celebrate the 2024 International Day of Persons with Disabilities during the planning committee’s annual event on December 3rd.
The day was first proclaimed in 1992 by the UN General Assembly, with the goal of increasing awareness surrounding the issues and barriers people with disabilities face around the globe.
This year, residents will have the chance to participate in a variety of free activities to mark the occasion, including the proclamation and presentation of the Inclusive Community Award at 11:00 a.m. at Teresa Sargent Hall.
Nominations for the Inclusive Community Award are available for individuals, organizations, or groups who “consistently demonstrate” dedication, innovation, or values that align with inclusivity.
