SPECIAL NEEDS

In an effort to better serve sangat with physical disabilities and/or limited mobility, RSSB-C has developed Special Needs Access Pass to permit access to the Special Needs seating areas and facilities. Those using a service animal are also requested to fill out and submit this form.
If you have a special need, please complete a Special Needs Access Pass Application Form

Please Note the Following Rules and Policies:

  • The Centre is unable to provide medical equipment for personal use. Please bring what you need.
  • Those entering with a Special Needs Access Pass who have special aids or equipment of any sort, need assistance or hearing enhancement will be seated in the Special Needs section. Special Needs seating is generally close to the doors and washrooms for easier access. Only those who preregister for a Special Needs Access Pass will be allowed to sit in these sections.
  • Only those who need assistance may request seating for a companion, and the companion must remain with the card-holder at all times. Other family members or the spouse will be asked to enter and sit with the general sangat.

  • Shuttle vehicles will be available to pick up elderly sangat or those with special needs from designated pick up points in the parking areas and bring them to the check-in tents where sevadars with wheelchairs will be available to help sangat. Please note that aside from this temporary wheelchair assistance to help sangat enter the building, wheelchairs will not be provided for general use. Please bring what you need. Note that the sangat might have to walk from the check-in points to the Satsang Venue. Also, due to the limited availability of shuttles, the sangat might have to wait to be boarded.
