Vancouver x Accessibility in Action: Pacific Spirit Park Meetup
Saturday, August 10, 6:00pm - 8:00pm (EDT)
Description:
Join Kim Jacob & Jackie Steele at Pacific Spirit Park in Vancouver for a Coralus community event dedicated to sharing best practices for improving accessibility in businesses. This event will provide an opportunity to share experiences, discuss challenges, and get inspired by others’ innovative solutions and practices to support people with a range of disabilities or access needs. Come connect, chat, build relationships, and explore this topic in a beautiful forest setting! All women and non-binary folks are welcome, as well as friendly dogs & kids. Bring a friend and join us at 3:00 pm.
Following the walk, Jackie Steele is hosting a potluck/byob event at her home at UBC (where the walk will begin and end) from 5 to 7pm. Register here.
Location:
Meet at Jackie's Residence (UBC Endowment Lands (Map pin). To get here, head west along West 4th Avenue towards UBC. West 4th becomes Chancellor Boulevard at Blanca Street. Following Chancellor, make the first left (there is a school on your right). If you reach Allison Road or Western Parkway, you've gone too far!. If you are riding transit, the 84 runs along West 4th to UBC. Get off at Hamber Road (walk west to Acadia) or Allison Road (walk back east to Acadia).
Parking & Transit:
Free street parking in front of Jackie's house
Accessibility:
Pacific Spirit Park trails are generally quite flat with hard packed gravel; but we will be taking a route that has a decline/incline. We’ll walk together for 1.5-2 hours and the route selected will consider the abilities of those attending, with accessibility top of mind. We recommend comfortable, closed toed shoes along with layers and/or a rain jacket depending on the weather. You’re also encouraged to bring water and snacks. Courtesy of the British Columbia Mobility Opportunities Society, Trailrider chairs are also available to book in advance; please let us know if we can support or accommodate in any way. We welcome service animals, caregivers, aides, interpreters, and anyone who supports your mobility and independence.
