Toy Adapting with New Brunswick Volunteers & Premier’s Council on Disabilities

December 1, 2023 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm AST

Event banner.

We are excited to once again be partnering with New Brunswick’s Premier’s Council on Disabilities to host this great event. Makers Making Change will lead volunteers through adapting toys to make them more accessible for Makers Making Change’s Hacking for the Holidays campaign, with toys being donated to children and families across New Brunswick and to the Stan Cassidy Centre for Rehabilitation.

Volunteers will be provided with the toy, tools and instructions at the event.

New this year, we are also introducing a gift wrapping station! While there will be the option to have your gift wrapped in the traditional or usual way, we will also be demonstrating accessible gift wrapping. This option allows for gifts to be wrapped with a string or ribbon attached, so it can be easily pulled. This helps to tear the gift paper for those with limited dexterity or hand movements, making the process of unwrapping gifts easier.

If you are having trouble registering, please reach out to: Courtneyc@neilsquire.ca or 902-240-1538
