Bonnets Energy Centre has created a new way to enhance accessibility, inclusivity, and enjoyment for all visitors.

City Hall says sensory kits have been developed and put into action for visitors to rent and use for free.

These kits consist of a few items, including noise-softening headphones, UV-rated sunglasses, fidget tools, and a communication-style lanyard.

This program was first launched for Blippi which took place on May 15.

Catherine Ridgeway, Director of Events and Entertainment said in the same release “The Bonnetts Energy Centre staff are continually working to break down barriers for fan enjoyment. We are thrilled to be able to offer this amenity to ensure the comfort of all guests,”

Kits will be created and made available based on community demand and venue needs.
