Description

The Segal Centre offers half-price tickets (subject to availability) for support persons accompanying spectators with special needs. The Centre is also a partner in the Access 2 card and Carte accompagnement loisir (CAL) programs, both offering free admission for the accompanying support person and the spectator upon presentation of the card.

Here are some other adaptations to make shows and events accessible to all:

  • some performances with American Sign Language interpretation;
  • performances with audio description, in collaboration with Connec-T;
  • casual performances for certain shows;
  • familiarization tours;
  • a guide to visual landmarks;
  • a virtual tour of the Centre.

Several adaptations are possible for certain performances, details of which you can check on their website : ACCESSIBILITY
