Sensory Friendly Shopping Time

Do you find grocery shopping challenging because of the number of sensory stimuli? Did you know that many grocery stores across the province have stepped up to provide “Sensory-Friendly Shopping?”  

During these times, stores work to limit the sensory stimuli within the store environment. Changes vary from store-to-store, but often include: 

• Reduced lighting 
• No announcements 
• No cart collection 
• Lower department noise 
• Staff support throughout the store 

 Please contact the stores directly for any further details.
