8 B.C. cities working on improving accessibility through grant initiative
Select municipalities across B.C. were awarded with funding to advance accessibility earlier this year, thanks to the Rick Hansen Foundation. Two months later, some of the improvements, trainings and ratings are coming to light.
“Those were the three venues that received facility audits,” said Ben Chobater, community development coordinator of the City of Kamloops. “However, the grant funding can be applied to a single larger project at one facility or multiple smaller projects at more than one facility.” Visual emergency alarms, better use of signage, mobility upgrades to washroom facilities and better accessibility spaces at reception areas are the main areas that will be improved.
“City Hall and the Two Rivers Art Gallery are now registered on the RHFAC Registry as they received a score of over 60 per cent,” said Kendall Robertson, communications coordinator of the City of Prince George.
