What is the purpose of International Day of Persons with Disabilities?

Celebrated on December 3rd around the world, IDPD mobilizes support for critical issues relating to the inclusion of persons with disabilities, promotes awareness-raising about disability issues and draws attention to the benefits of an inclusive and accessible society for all.

VAD focuses on full participation, equity and accessibility for everyone, and this year to celebrate IDPD, we are hosting a resource fair, and we want you to participate and invite your friends.

LOCATION:        Millwood’s Town Center

TIME:                    11 AM  to 4 PM                Exhibitors set up – Entrance 1

11:30 AM                            Open to public

COST:                   $50 each

There will be table name cards to direct exhibitors to their designated spot in the event space.

• Please bring a tablecloth, banner, promotional materials, swag, and business cards.

As a participant in the resource fair, we ask that you invite your clients and patrons to the event to boost attendee numbers.  We have a poster you can promote through social media, in person and on your websites.

Participants can be anyone that would like to attend from the community. Attendance is free for patrons. As an exhibitor we would like your agency/company to provide a short description of what your company does in the community to help the public become aware of your services, as well as what demographic you support.

We would like each exhibitor to provide VAD with their company logo for the printed Exhibitor Directory given out during the event and a short write-up that can be put in an exhibitor directory to be provided to each attendee as a resource guide for the community.

We ask that you also forward this invitation to all your resource supports so that we have a large group of community resources for youth/families, adults and seniors.  Our focus is disabilities but as that demographic is in each part of society, we believe this is an opportunity to gather all aspects of the journey through navigation systems that are a lifelong process and celebrate the International Day of Persons with Disabilities.

Please send your exhibitor forms to Teresa Makarewich at Teresa@vadsociety.ca before November 26, 2025, to register. We ask that you take an active role in advertising this event to your clients and patrons.
