Get your rainbows on!
VocalEye has been describing the Vancouver Pride Parade since 2015 in partnership with the Vancouver Pride Society. We’re thrilled to make this event more accessible for the blind and partially sighted community again this summer!
The VocalEye Accessible Viewing Zone will be in front of the Roundhouse Community Centre along Pacific Blvd at Davie Street.
There will be shade, but we recommend hats, sunglasses and sunscreen. The seats are hard plastic, so you may want to bring a cushion and whatever you need to be comfortable for the day. VocalEye will supply headsets, beads, tattoos and some snacks. Bottled water and an accessible washroom will be available on site.
Registration details coming soon!
