This was just the start of an effort to integrate Crosslake's destined loon center with features to make many of its attractions accessible to the deaf and hard of hearing. Leah DolezalThe loon center is expected to become one of what some call the "Big 5" nature centers in Minnesota: National Loon Center, National Eagle Center, International Wolf Center, North American Bear Center and International Owl Center. The National Loon Center offered the opportunity to integrate accessibility features from the start, Leah Dolezal, senior teaching specialist and Deaf Equity Task Force member, said through American Sign Language interpreters. ADVERTISEMENTWith some help, the loon center promises to have a level of access rarely experienced by deaf, hard-of-hearing individuals and visually impaired individuals who may need a translator to participate in public programs. From 10 to 11:30 a.m. Saturday, Aug. 15, the Loon Pontoon tours will demonstrate their newly accessible loon tours featuring ASL interpreters.
