The Access 2 EntertainmentTM card provides free admission (or a significant discount) for support persons accompanying a person with a disability at member movie theatres across Canada. The person with the disability pays regular admission. This program was developed
by an advisory group of nine national disability organizations, in conjunction with Cineplex Entertainment.
Persons with a permanent disability who require a support person when attending a movie theatre are eligible for the card. The applicant must agree to follow the terms and conditions for use of the card (see below).
