Doors Open… and Accessible
Spring is here and it’s time to get out and see the sites! Doors Open 2017 is taking place in select communities in Ontario in May and June. The annual event celebrates historic, cultural and architecturally significant sites throughout the province. It’s free and best of all, many buildings are wheelchair accessible. Check out these upcoming events on the Doors Open Ontario website. You can enter the search term, “accessible”, and the site will produce a list of buildings that are fully accessible.
