Rick Hansen Foundation Certification Program

This partnership has helped Vancouver identify barriers, prioritize upgrades, and promote inclusive design across the city, aligning with its broader goals of becoming a more accessible and equitable community for everyone. A similar partnership in Toronto could have a transformative impact. By applying the RHFAC program across Toronto's vast network of public spaces, the city could more effectively collaborate to identify areas for improvement, set measurable accessibility goals, make data-driven investment decisions, and engage the community in building a more inclusive urban environment. This initiative would support Toronto's accessibility commitments, enhance the everyday experiences of residents and visitors with disabilities, and demonstrate leadership in inclusive city-building.
