Access Awareness Day

The CRD board declared June 7 as Access Awareness Day throughout the Cariboo-Chilcotin.

The annual Access Awareness Day is organized by SPARC BC, which has been partnering with the provincial government to call attention to the need for greater accessibility and inclusion of citizens with disabilities.

This year’s event marks the 17th Annual Access Awareness Day and will be celebrated province-wide under the 2014 campaign of “Building Accessibility Together.”
