This year, Hydro Ottawa marked a significant milestone, celebrating 25 years of hosting Special Needs Day with Capital Fair. The annual event provides individuals with disabilities a chance to enjoy the fair in a relaxed, sensory-friendly environment, which includes smaller crowds, slower-moving rides and reduced noise.
Excited to show their support, more than 60 employees and retirees from Hydro Ottawa volunteered to assist at the event. They created a welcoming and safe environment for all guests, greeting them with warmth. From helping people on and off rides to preparing and serving food, the volunteers went above and beyond to ensure everyone enjoyed the day.
Special Needs Day fosters a sense of community while promoting accessibility and inclusion. Over the last 25 years, thousands of families have attended and made lasting memories.
