Though considerable work has gone into improving accessibility at the Calgary Stampede for those with mobility issues, one visitor warns some planning is required.
The Calgary Stampede has made considerable efforts over the years to make sure it is welcoming and inclusive to everyone.
"One hundred per cent, it's a good time, we just have to be strategic on how to do it, and know where we're going and work through it that way," said Darby Young, owner of a successful accessibility consulting firm, Level Playing Field, and a seasonal worker at Stampede since she was 14.Young has mild Cerebral Palsy and uses a scooter to get around.
"It makes it so difficult, I end up losing feeling in my leg and almost face-planting along the way," she said.
