The Access 2 Entertainment
card provides free admission for support persons
accompanying a person with a disability at member movie theatres and selected
attractions across Canada. The person with the disability pays regular admission.
This program was developed by an advisory group of nine national disability
organizations, in conjunction with Cineplex Entertainment and the Motion Picture
Theatre Association of Canada.
Persons with a permanent disability who require a support person when attending a
movie theatre or attraction are eligible for the card. The applicant must agree to follow
the terms and conditions for use of the card (see reverse side).
A support person is an individual who accompanies a person with a disability to provide
those services that are not provided by movie theatre/attraction employees, such as
assisting the person with eating, administering medication, communication and use of
the facilities.
There is a $20 fee to acquire the Access 2 Entertainment Card. The card will be valid
for 5 years and can be used at all Access 2 Entertainment Card Partners.
Access 2 Entertainment is managed by Easter Seals Canada
