We're so happy to bring the Greater Hamilton community together for The Better Together Festival on Saturday, December 2 so we can all help to create an inclusive and diverse community.
As a group, we chose this date to align with the International Day of People with Disability, celebrated every year on December 3.
Our festival shares the same values as the IDPWD program, which aims to increase public awareness, understanding and acceptance of people with disability.
