Standard ticket further back: $80
The only Accessible seating: $163
No cheaper accessible options available. Why am I paying double just for accessible?

Unfair and against the spirit of access.

🌟 Celebrating National AccessAbility Week! Making our parks more inclusive, St. Catharines has taken a step forward by introducing American Sign Language (#ASL) signage in select parks. #AccessAbilityWeek #Inclusion #StCatharines @St_Catharines @MatSiscoe @Phil14C @Eric_Lamothe

[Mayor Mat Siscoe 🇨🇦 @MatSiscoe]

St. Catharines has installed American Sign Language (ASL) signs in all City recreational facilities and will be installing them at various parks, enhancing accessibility for the deaf and hard-of-hearing community🧏‍♂️. Let's work together for an inclusive future!

What an opportunity to have a seat at the table informing Canada’s National Caregiving Strategy. Learning from one another, forging connections, and creating a new path of support. Also found Niagara’s very own @FreshPrincessC from @yngcaregivers !#CCCESummit2023 @CdnCaregiving

[Michelle Sanders @Froma_Diff_Lens]

Inspiring - @Irek_K sharing that #caregiving is the foundation of our society and economy and has been chronically undermined and needs to be valued. #CCCESummit2023 @CdnCaregiving @Chris_Bittle

ST. CATHARINES LIBRARIES:

A 0% Budget change (as some City Councillors asked for) would result in a 21% reduction in library hours, and branches closing, and other significant limitations

This is at a time when our libraries are more used and needed than ever

#SupportLibraries

[Michelle Sanders @Froma_Diff_Lens]

@littletonstc @uglyshirt @calebratzlaff @GregMillerSTC 2/2 essential resources (warmth, community, computers, knowledge and learning resources, not to mention free programming)

[Michelle Sanders @Froma_Diff_Lens]

@littletonstc @uglyshirt @calebratzlaff @GregMillerSTC 1/2 As a frequenter of our library locations with my children, the library has always been an essential part of their childhood. We’ve witnessed community groups, older adults, persons with disabilities, families using these spaces as a community hub and a free space to access….

@banjosworld @LauraIp4Region @ShawTheatre I would encourage you to contact the clerks dpt at the City if you’re interested. They would be able to answer that question better as they recently filled the committee for the new term of council and what have a better concept of the process.
