The City of Glenwood Springs is hosting its first Americans with Disabilities (ADA) Celebration on Tuesday, July 26th from 6-8 p.m. at Two Rivers Park (740 Devereux Rd, Glenwood Springs, CO 81601).

This ADA Celebration event is about celebrating our local disability community and inclusivity in Glenwood Springs. All are welcome to join. American Sign Language and Spanish Interpreting Services will be available during the event.

 

The historic Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 was passed thirty-two years ago on July 26, 1990, and is a civil rights law that prohibits discrimination based on disability in the areas of employment, state and local government services, public accommodations, transportation, commercial facilities, and telecommunications.
