Accessibility Walking Tour with StopGap Foundation (Watch This Space)

Join them for an eye-opening Accessibility Walking Tour of Dundas West, guided by individuals with lived experience of disability.

This immersive experience invites participants to reflect on the built environment’s role in shaping inclusion, while celebrating the creativity, strength, and capacity that people with disabilities bring to shared public spaces.
