It's National Accessibility Week in Canada!
Here are some easy things we did to improve accessibility at our Inn:
We painted a strip of yellow at the edge of our steps to improve visibility.
We compiled a list of wheelchair accessible places around our Peninsula.
We lowered a section of our front desk to a height comfortable for wheelchair users.
We slanted our deck boards gradually to the entry, with long wooden wedges we made and nailed to the joists. Now there's not a big bump at the entry.
We made narrow display shelves for the center of our Gallery and Gift Shop so it is roomy and uncluttered.
We have a low table to display our tourist information.
We gathered accessibility aids for customers to use during their stay.
We use image descriptions on social media.
We follow social media accounts where we find great information about accessibility, like Access YYT and we've learned a LOT from customers and feedback on social media. Thank you to everyone who has shared accessibility information with us!
