Toronto Fundraiser - The Multi-Generational Folk Extravaganza was a wonderful show that we put on at Hugh's Room on April 6, 2008. New pictures have been uploaded from the event. Check out the fun we had at the show. If you missed the show, you can still help our fundraising efforts if you make a donation.

For people who are deaf or hard of hearing we offer ASL sign interpretation for all of the evening performances.
In an effort to extend the enjoyment of our Festival to those persons who have a physical disability, all areas are wheelchair accessible so that everyone will have the opportunity to share the music, the camaraderie and the wonders of nature with us.
In all stage areas the grounds are flat with the main trails paved for easier mobility. The buildings (including the barn) have no steps and are spacious enough to accommodate people using mobility aids. In addition, we have some equipment on site that may be borrowed if necessary (Hoyer lift, wheelchairs, walkers, shower chair and canes)
The Eaglewood resort is a rustic camping resort with out-houses throughout. To make it easier for those with mobility issues, some of these out-houses have been adapted for wheelchair access.
If you are renting one of the cabins on site you will find that;
-
the bathrooms are large (6' X 12') and have a wheel-in shower (no tub)
-
the kitchen area has low counters and "wheel-under" stove and sink
-
light switches are lower, and electrical plugs are higher with enough power to recharge batteries over night
To aid people with visual impairments we offer our programme book in Braille. Although we do make a number of copies in each format as a matter of course, if you feel you would like one of these programmes please advise us prior to the festival to ensure that a copy will be available for you.
In past years we had offered Audio and Large print formats as well but found the need was not there. For that reason, we have decided to discontinue the practice. A text version of the schedule is published on this site and can easily be printed off in any type size the user requires.
Eaglewood is hoping to arrange for Volunteers who will be trained to act as sighted guides to assist people to and from the stages.
To request Alternate Format in Advance, please contact AL Reeves at;
