Safehaven Presents the Where Hope Lives Board Game

— July 1, 2025 — Lifestyle
Toronto-based company Safehaven introduces the Where Hope Lives board game. It is developed to help parents discuss more about the topics of disability, inclusion, and accessibility with their children. It was released last week and allows families to engage in an interactive way to explore these topics.

Lindsey Mazzam, a disability advocate, explains, “We need to model inclusive language and respectful behaviour every day. Just like we teach our kids that people come in all skin tones and body shapes, we need to talk openly, and in age-appropriate ways, about all kinds of differences. Books, games, movies, and media are great tools to help normalize what they see. And most importantly, we should create space for them to ask questions.”
