Sensory room consultation

The City of Waterloo is creating our very first sensory room. It will be located at Albert McCormick Community Centre and is anticipated to open in 2028. The sensory room is intended for children and youth with disabilities or sensory needs and may be appropriate for additional users.

We’re inviting children and youth, their caregivers, and organizations supporting children and youth to share ideas on what features, equipment and design elements would make the room welcoming, engaging and accessible. This feedback will help create a sensory-friendly space that responds to the diverse needs of our community.

The sensory room is being developed with grant funding through the Ontario government’s Community Support and Recreation Infrastructure Fund. The total grant amount is $775,000 with $100,000 being allocated towards the sensory room.
