The Keystone Centre has partnered with the Access 2 Card program to improve the accessibility of individuals with disabilities during events at Westoba Place.
The collaboration will allow Access 2 Card holders to receive complimentary admission for one support person when attending concerts and Brandon Wheat Kings home games at the facility, a Keystone Centre press release Friday said Friday.
By integrating the Access 2 Card program, the venue aims to create a more inclusive environment, aligning with its ongoing efforts to support community engagement and participation in all hosted events, the release stated.

General manager Connie Lawrence said the Keystone looks for different ways to increase access to the events it hosts.
“We appreciate our place as a recreation hub in our region, and removing as many barriers to participation as possible is an integral piece of our commitment to the community,” she said.
Mike Filipchuk, vice-president of business operations for the Brandon Wheat Kings, said the organization is thrilled to join the Access 2 Card program in partnership with the Keystone.
“It helps make Wheat Kings games more accessible to our community,” Filipchuk said. “Hockey is a sport that brings people together, and this initiative ensures that fans who require support can enjoy the game alongside their companions without barriers. We’re proud to support this program and look forward to welcoming everyone to the Keystone Centre to cheer on the Wheat Kings.”
The program, he said, starts with immediate effect, with the first event Friday evening when the Brandon Wheat Kings took on the Regina Pats.
Launched in 2004, the Access 2 Card program is facilitated by Easter Seals Canada and is designed to provide individuals with disabilities access to various attractions and services across Canada.
