We believe everyone deserves to be included
Through advocacy, education and community programs, we’re helping build a more accessible and inclusive community for people with disabilities.
Breaking down barriers to a more inclusive community
The Council for Persons with Disabilities (CPD) advocates for disability rights in Peterborough/Nogojiwanong. We work with local schools, businesses and the city to raise awareness, improve accessibility and push for better services and policies. Our goal is to make a real difference in the everyday lives of people with disabilities.
How We Help
-
Active Together
A welcoming space where people with disabilities can try new hobbies, join fun activities, and connect with others. You’ll make friends, learn something new and enjoy time together in a friendly, relaxed environment.
-
Time in My Shoes
A hands-on experience where participants see the world through a disability lens. It’s a thoughtful way to build empathy, spark conversations and give people a better understanding of accessibility and inclusion in everyday life.
-
Community Accessibility Evaluation
We assess your space to find barriers and suggest ways to improve access. You’ll get tips to help make your space more welcoming for people with different mobility needs.

Accessible Communications Evaluation
We review your website and documents to see how user-friendly they are for everyone. From digital to print, we offer advice to help you communicate more inclusively.

Card & Equipment Labelling
We add braille or large print to cards and equipment so key details are easier to read and understand. It’s a simple step that makes important information more accessible to more people.
