After a fall left Randy paralyzed, he felt cut off from others.

Then he found Active Together.

Active Together is a free, twice-monthly program from the Council for Persons with Disabilities in Peterborough. It welcomes people with visible and invisible disabilities and offers a place to try new things, meet others and feel like you belong. For Randy, it was a lifeline.

It's more than a program. It gives him a reason to get out of the house, share time with others and feel part of his community.

On this International Day of Persons with Disabilities, we invite you to read Randy’s story and support A Place to Belong.
