PHYSICAL BARRIERS

There is no main level street access by car as we are located on the pedestrian-only, Scarth Street. The closest drop-off locations by vehicle are in front of the Cornwall Centre on 11th Avenue or Scarth street next to Victoria Park.

Our staff are committed to facilitating your individual accessibility needs.  If you would rather meet outside of our facility or need another type of accommodation, please let us know.

Our office is located on the third floor and there is an elevator. See more detailed elevator information below. We acknowledge the physical barriers of our space, and we are currently working towards solutions to make our space more accessible for all.

Accessing the elevator: There are three ways to access the elevator.

About the elevator: This elevator is used exclusively for transporting equipment and is not intended for moving people. It can be slow to arrive, and the ride to the second floor typically takes around 26 seconds. You may hear some mechanical noise when it starts moving; this is normal for this unit.

​

For safety reasons, please do not attempt to load or unload equipment yourself and do not block the elevator doors open at any time. The doors close quickly once opened, and inserting objects between them is unsafe.

​

Our staff will assist with all aspects of equipment pick-up and return, including loading, unloading, and operating the elevator. If you have any questions or need additional support, just let us know. We’re here to help!

Our staff is always ready to listen and come up with creative solutions.
