Disability Awareness Event

Join Mayor Corroon
For Disability Awareness Event



The Public is invited to join Salt Lake County employees at the Government Center next Tuesday, May 25th, for Disability Awareness Day. The 20th anniversary of the Americans With Disabilities Act will be July 20, 2010.

The purpose of the event will be to learn about different disabilities and try their hand at using assistive technology (manual wheelchair, crutches, walker, motorized scooter) by navigating an obstacle course or open doors. Other types of assistive technology will also be displayed.

Mayor Peter Corroon and the ADA Compliance Committee will sponsor the Disability Awareness Day event May 25th from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m.

It will be held on the Plaza between the Government Center buildings and if the weather does not cooperate, the activities will move into the atriums of both buildings.

At noon Tuesday, Mayor Corroon will make a few remarks and sign a proclamation reaffirming Salt Lake County’s continuing commitment to the principals of the ADA.
