Torres started on Thursday, January 4, the Rede Praia Acessível Program, a partnership between the City Hall, the Foundation for Articulation and Development of Public Policies for PCD and PCAH in RS (Faders) and the Fire Department. In the initiative, adapted amphibious chairs and advice are offered for assisted bathing for people with disabilities or reduced mobility when bathing in the sea.
The lifeguard booth chosen in the municipality of Torres is number 03, located in Praia Grande at Rua Firmino Torelli, which will initially provide this service on Thursday mornings from 9 am until 12 pm, and from the date of January 15, 2023, will be available every day from 9am to 5pm.
Operation Verão Total also gained a website to bring together all the guidelines, news and information about the season’s services, the new tool, which is now available for access at E for better information on where assisted bathing takes place and action times, the telephone 51.985945900, available for this service.
According to the president of Faders, Marquinho Lang, this partnership is fundamental to guaranteeing the rights of people with disabilities. For Education Secretary Alceu de Matos Scheffer, it is a pleasure to be part of a program that puts our city on the coastal inclusive route.
The secretary of Social Assistance and Human Rights, Helvia Sanae Mano, and the president of the Municipal Education Council, Rejane Clezar, also highlighted the importance of inclusion, who also attended the activity on Thursday morning.
