Free Admission Support Person/Aide
Ensuring that the Abbey Centre is barrier free to those who have special considerations is very important to us.
A support person providing one-to-one assistance to a person with special needs to participate in activities and recreational opportunities at the Abbey Centre are considered a supervisor and are not required to pay admission including family members.
Please stop by Guest Services to let them know you are a support person/aide to be provided with a special wristband.
