Access 2 Card

The Access 2 Card program, launched in 2004 by Easter Seals Canada, helps ensure that entertainment, cultural and recreational opportunities are more available and accessible to all. The Access 2 Card program has grown to reach over 100,000 Canadians who are living with disabilities, and includes over 500 participating partner venues across the country.
