Accessible Ajax

Celebrate National AccessABILITY Week May 31 – June 6, 2026

National AccessABILITY Week focuses on appreciating people of ALL abilities in our communities across Canada. The Town encourages everyone to celebrate all of the valuable contributions of those with disabilities, support access and inclusion, and take part in the continued efforts to make Ajax accessible and inclusive for all! Check out this year's FREE recognition events and activities:

TIFF Film Circuit Ajax Screening - I Swear
Friday, May 29 | 7 p.m. St. Francis Centre, 78 Church Street S.
Please note: Pre-registration is required. Reserve your FREE ticket online or call 905-619-2529 ext. 3347. Trailer link.
Based on the true story, I Swear is a moving, uplifting account of the life of John Davidson, a Tourette syndrome campaigner who grew up with the condition in 1980s Scotland, at a time when it was little known and misunderstood. Featuring outstanding performances from Robert Aramayo, Peter Mullan, Shirley Henderson and Maxine Peake, I SWEAR is a frank, funny and touching story about the transformative power of friendship and community. I Swear is a tribute to a man whose resilience helped rewrite the narrative around Tourette syndrome by embracing its truths and showing the world how to think differently. Content Advisory: coarse language.
