Kamloopsians advocate for accessibility with Amazing Race to Inclusion
KAMLOOPS — The Amazing Race to Inclusion was off and running Thursday (Sept. 29) morning in an attempt to draw awareness to the lack of accessibility around the city for people with disabilities.
As a kick-off to October’s Community Inclusion Month in B.C., the race aims to put others in the shoes of someone with a disability.
“The challenge gives people a tiny idea of how frustrating it is sometimes to be in a wheelchair, or use canes, or to be blind or deaf. It’s a good way for people to get a solid connection to their own abilities,” says Molly-Beth Wilson with People in Motion.
