JCPD Stages St. Thomas Townhall on Disability Rights and Future Access

The Jamaica Council for Persons with Disabilities (JCPD) convened a public townhall in St. Thomas on Tuesday, June 23, 2026, framed around the theme “Your Voice, Your Rights / Your Future.”

The session formed part of the council’s outreach to communities across the island, giving residents a forum to engage on matters affecting persons with disabilities. Organisers positioned the event as an opportunity for the public to speak on rights, services, and long-term inclusion.

Coverage of the townhall was carried by the Public Broadcasting Corporation of Jamaica (PBCJ) as part of its public-affairs programming. PBCJ, Jamaica’s national public broadcaster, routinely airs sessions of national and regional interest, including governance forums and community meetings.

Further details on speakers, agenda items, and outcomes from the St. Thomas session were not included in the available broadcast materials.
