CNE disability consultant glad free admission is cancelled, found it 'insulting'0:40"There was nobody else that let the disabled person and their attendant in completely for free." The Canadian National Exhibition (CNE) will no longer offer free admission to people with disabilities when the Ex opens its gates later this summer, and at least one woman with a disability says it's about time. "We're not pitiful, we're not pathetic, we're not a bunch of charity cases," said disability consultant Lauri Sue Robertson, who has arthritis. "Other entertainment venues, most of them in fact, all of them, charge people something," said Robertson who consulted on this change for the CNE. This year the CNE says people with disabilities will have to pay full price to get into the exhibition grounds but their caregivers will still be admitted at no charge.
