The Brimbank Aquatic and Leisure Centre came alive on Thursday, November 30, as Distinctive Options In Life, in collaboration with Brimbank council, hosted an inclusive leisure and movement event to celebrate the International Day for People with Disability.

“The United Nations designated International Day for People with Disability is an opportunity to promote awareness, understanding and acceptance of disability in the community,” said Distinctive Options chief executive Ernie Metcalf.

The event featured a range of activities from basketball, football, and soccer to chair aerobics, Zumba, hip hop, art displays, musical performances, and more.
