Accessibility information must be specific. A statement that a venue is “accessible” does not answer questions about entrances, grades, washrooms, seating, sensory needs or the route between places.
Transport
OC Transpo buses and O-Train stations include accessibility features, while Para Transpo serves eligible riders who cannot use conventional transit. Elevator outages or service changes can still affect a route, so check live status.
Museums and attractions
National museums are generally wheelchair accessible, and some Ottawa attractions offer sensory supports, quiet times or accessibility certification. Contact the venue for the feature that matters to the visitor.
Outdoor routes
Pathways vary in grade, paving, winter maintenance and washroom access. Gatineau Park publishes information on inclusive trails and accessible facilities.
