Annually, the Region of Peel hosts an event to commemorate the United Nations International Day of Persons with Disabilities (IDPD). Residents, businesses, accessibility advocates, special dignitaries, local media and Regional staff attend these events, which highlight a different accessibility-related theme each year.
Through presentations, vendor displays roundtable and panel discussions, IDPD events educate and raise awareness about accessibility issues to help make Peel a receptive, accessible community that ensures full participation of individuals with disabilities.
