Accessibility and StopGap
INTERVIEW WITH LUKE ANDERSON, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF STOPGAP FOUNDATION PHOTOS BY SELINA MCCALLUM @SHOTBYSELINA
Removing Barriers & Supporting Accessible Businesses
Advertisement
Making Toronto business spaces more accessible, both physically and online, has been a work in progress for decades. The AODA (Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act) first came into effect in 2005, with the goal of “developing, implementing and enforcing accessibility standards in order to achieve accessibility for Ontarians with disabilities with respect to goods, services, facilities, accommodation, employment, buildings, structures and premises on or before January 1, 2025.” An organization visibly at the forefront of the accessibility movement and supporting businesses in tangible ways, has been StopGap Foundation. You may know them by their painted wooden ramps emblazoned with the iconic STOPGAP.CA stencil. Since 2011, StopGap Foundation’s mission has been to foster “a world where every person can access every space,” and to date they have placed more than 2000 ramps across Canada. We spoke to Luke Anderson, a Founder and the Executive Director of StopGap to get some insight. Luke has first-hand knowledge and experience of barriers in the built environment. After sustaining a highlevel spinal cord injury while mountainbiking, Luke found himself living in a world not well designed for someone who gets around using a wheelchair, where a single step is as large a barrier as a flight of stairs. We connected with Luke over Zoom: What are some of the most common accessibility issues facing businesses?
Between 50% to 75% of businesses in most Toronto neighbourhoods have stepped entryways. We developed our StopGap programming to raise awareness of this huge issue that doesn’t just affect people with different mobility needs but also has been raised by others - such as parents who push strollers, delivery people, and from those with temporary disabilities due to an injury or illness. Many people have said they benefit tremendously from having a ramped entryway. We’ve also been hearing from people who have chosen to support and frequent businesses that have a ramp because they believe that it’s important to equity and inclusion. The ramps that we build and the services we offer are literally just the first step (pun intended). There’s a lot that can be done inside a business for little to no cost as well. It begins by making it easy for customers to access accessibility-related information about the businesses’ services and physical space. Knowing whether a storefront is accessible or not prior to visiting the location is invaluable to anyone using a mobility aid. So, making this information available on a business website is really important and easy to do. What else can businesses work on to do better?
Beyond the AODA requirements and that accessibility is a Human Right, there is a basic need for greater education and understanding on the part of businesses to learn to use more empowering language and replace more antiquated language. That sends a message, removes barriers, builds momentum for the accessibility movement, and grows the collective consciousness. For example, I am not confined to a wheelchair, instead I use a wheelchair.
The digital space is also critically important. The rise of online/ digital meetings is actually making information and communication more accessible in some ways. As Ontarians, we have the AODA that mandates our physical and digital spaces are to become barrier free. Awareness-raising and education can trickle into alternative formats for menus, brochures, and other materials businesses may be sharing online and in print. To produce materials through the lens of inclusion is what is needed, and there are professional resources to support this. What needs to change?
An example is the current access symbol, a symbol that has been used for over 50 years now. There is a new proposed symbol depicting a person using a chair in more of a forward moving position. We can choose empowering language and symbols that help remove barriers. Ultimately, we want to have a society in which we don’t need symbols to tell people where they can and can’t go and everything is barrier-free and set up for everyone - in terms of our buildings, online, and print materials for instance - that is what we are striving for. Spurred by the importance of outdoor spaces during the pandemic, outdoor patios have become a bigger part of what Toronto restaurants, bars and cafes are offering for what looks to be the longer term. How can these spaces be more accessible?
We have updated the StopGap website and resources to offer our ramps for outdoor patio spaces such as in curb lanes. These are tight spaces and now is the time to raise awareness of the importance of adaptability in the moment. For example, having a fitted ramp available, and modular or easily moveable furniture that allows for the layout to be adapted for accessibility. Table heights are important as well, businesses should provide a couple of options at different heights. While curb lane patio spaces may not be able to be code compliant at all times, they have so many benefits in terms of enlivening neighbourhoods, extending dining space, and supporting businesses’ bottom-line. At the same time they present new challenges as they are not covered by building codes and new accessibility recommendations need to be developed. Adaptability and ability to reconfigure with modular furniture is key. Support StopGap
