The importance of being an inclusive, adaptive and accessible city was discussed at the Lambton College Event Centre on Tuesday.
Sarnia's Training and Accessibility Coordinator Dale Mosley brought together a variety of keynote speakers with different accessibility backgrounds for this year's Accessibility Summit.
"A lot of these speakers are in Toronto or Ottawa, so I wanted Sarnia to have something where they could come and know about accessibility," said Mosley.
Tracy Schmitt, a quadruple amputee, shared her story.
"She does things like mountain climbing and she's a Paralympian for sailing," said Mosley. "Now she's a motivational speaker. She speaks all over the world."
Fran Betts shared ways to advocate for people with disabilities and Alfred Spence, a director of accessibility with the Ministry of Senior and Accessibility, talked about steps taken provincially.
Mosley said it was nice to bring back the event, which was last held in 2016.
