Julia's Junction - an inclusive play space for ALL abilities
We are fundraising $750,000 to build Julia's Junction!
An environment where nobody is excluded from play as a result of their disability. Where caregivers with these disabilities feel comfortable visiting with their children. A 'junction' for our community to come together to make new connections through play!
Designed to accommodate all abilities & disabilities, whether physical, social, emotional, or cognitive, as well as friends and family of those with disabilities, Julia’s Junction will be a safe, and most importantly FUN space. Making friends, increasing self confidence, and building physical strength are just a few of the many important benefits of play, and everyone in our community deserves to experience that!
People with disabilities represent 5,500 residents in our community. That’s 1 in 6 people who live right here in West Kelowna! Including the families and friends of people with disabilities, there are close to 17,000 affected by the lack of fully inclusive playgrounds.
