DCDSB Students Visit WindReach Farm

The DCDSB Deaf and Hard of Hearing Department took students from Kindergarten to Grade 7 on an inclusive and interactive end-of-year trip to promote friendship, connectivity, and community. The group visited WindReach Farm, a place dedicated to enriching the lives of individuals of all ages with disabilities. WindReach Farm provides opportunities to enjoy experiences in farming, nature, and outdoor recreation, allowing students to share these moments with each other.

Accessibility is a cornerstone of WindReach Farm's mission. The farm ensures that all activities and facilities are designed to be inclusive, allowing individuals with various disabilities to fully participate and enjoy their visit.

During the trip, students engaged in various activities designed to foster teamwork and social interaction. They explored the farm, interacted with animals, and participated in an accessible tractor ride, all while learning about the importance of nature and farming. The visit to WindReach Farm not only offered a fun and educational experience but also helped strengthen the bonds between students, promoting a sense of belonging and mutual support.
