MS Society

Launched in December, 2004, the Access 2 Entertainment program seeks to help businesses provide quality customer service to customers with disabilities. Through the program, people with
disabilities who require a support person carry a personal Access 2 Entertainment card with them. The card indicates to the ticket seller that the individual does indeed require the support of an attendant.

The card provides free admission (or a substantial discount) for the support person at all participating entertainment venues. The person with the disability pays the regular admission fee.

In order to obtain a card, an application form must be submitted by a person with a disability who requires the assistance of a support person. The application must be authorized by a registered health care or disability service provider.

Easter Seals Canada administers the application and delivery of the card.

The Access 2 Entertainment card is currently accepted at the following Canadian theaters:

Cineplex Odeon Cinemas, AMC Theaters, Cinema City Cinemas, Coliseum Cinemas, Colossus Cinemas, Empire Theatres, Famous Players Cinemas, Galaxy Cinemas, Landmark Cinemas, Fortune Cinemas, Magic Lantern Cinemas, Rainbow Cinemas, Scotiabank Theatre Cinemas, SilverCity Cinemas, TIFF Bell Lightbox, Mégantic Cinema, Figaro Cinema, Laurier Cinema, Beloeil Cinema, MagogCinema, Ciné-Groulx (Odyscène), Baker Cinema, Alma Cinema Complex, Montreal Cinerobtheque, Ciné Entreprise Cinema, IMAX Telus Cinema-(Science Centre), National Geographic IMAX Theatre, Pacific Cinémathèque, and National Film Board
