About
Did you know?
1 in 5 Nova Scotians over the age of 15 identify as having a disability. The accessibility of spaces affects the living, employment, and consumer choices of not only those with disabilities, but their families, friends, and caretakers as well.
Universal Design is the design and composition of an environment so that it can be accessed, understood and used to the greatest extent possible by all people regardless of their age, size, ability or disability.
Nova Scotia has set a goal to be accessible by 2030 under the newly established Accessibility Act.
If you’re a business or community organization, the Province’s ACCESS-Ability Grants may help you pay for up to two-thirds of construction & renovation costs to meet accessibility requirements.
