What is IDPD?
IDPD, or International Day of Persons with Disabilities, is a day incepted by the United Nations to celebrate the accomplishments and achievements that persons with disabilities contribute to our community .
Throughout the year, all around the world, individuals, organizations and communities work together to promote equality, social justice, awareness and overcome the challenges that persons with disabilities face. Each year, on December 3rd, we gather to celebrate how far we've come, to commemorate the journey this far and to acknowledge those in our communities who have disabilities.

IDPD Calgary 2015: Aspire
Every community is different, and all around the world on December 3rd communities come together to celebrate in their own unique way. From awards ceremonies and breakfasts, trade fairs to sledge hockey games, persons with disabilities gather in salute. As we celebrate who we are, what we do and the community we live in, we also continue the important work of raising awareness and building capacity in our community.
In Calgary, we have a diverse and creative community. Our citizens are known for their caring and compassion around the world. We came together on December 3rd, 2015 and built on that legacy.
Our theme for IDPD Calgary 2015 was ASPIRE: we celebrated what we aspire to do to enrich our diverse communities, and encouraged everyone to live life to the fullest. Join us for IDPD Calgary in December of 2016!
