GAME Checkpoints


The GAME Checkpoints program helps organizations across Canada create accessible gaming spaces where people can try adaptive gaming devices and assistive technology with support from trained professionals. Through training, equipment guidance, and a growing national network of partners, centres can break down barriers to gaming and become official GAME Checkpoints in their communities.
