We are grateful to Lime for their commitment to keeping public spaces accessible and safe for everyone!
Safe 👏 sidewalks 👏 should 👏 be 👏 standard 👏 We’re proud to announce our latest partnership with Pacific Assistance Dogs Society (PADS) during AccessAbility Week! This partnership will support the launch of an initiative aimed at keeping sidewalks clear for all pedestrians, particularly those with physical mobility challenges or those who are blind or have low vision. Here’s what we’re doing to ensure we keep sidewalks safe for everyone: ☝️Adding stickers to all our 🛴🚲 vehicles, reminding riders of the importance of sidewalk accessibility and the impact of blocked pathways on individuals with disabilities. ✌️Communicating additional 📢📝📱 education to our riders on responsible riding behavior.

This #TherapyAnimalDay, we shine a light on the remarkable impact of therapy animals in healthcare, exemplified by Gaia, our dedicated Pacific Assistance Dogs Society (PADS) Accredited Facilities dog. Gaia plays a pivotal role in providing emotional support, bringing comfort and smiles to children and families during challenging times. Her presence at our hospices, in family homes, and hospitals is a vital part of our care model. Gaia's intuitive ability to connect and offer solace showcases the healing bond between humans and animals. #TherapyAnimalDay #CanuckPlace

Check out this wonderful new series, by our client Rebekah and PADS Service Dog Kurtz!
Introducing Our New Series: Breaking Barriers with Rebekah! I'm Rebekah, the Virtual Administrative Coordinator at INNoVA. As someone who lives with a disability, I've experienced firsthand the challenges and triumphs of overcoming barriers. Over the next few posts, I'll be taking you on a journey through my life and career, sharing personal stories and insights. From my university days to the job search, working experiences, and the everyday hurdles I face, I aim to shed light on the importance of accommodations and creating inclusive environments. Despite the challenges I faced early in life, including a severe bout of viral meningitis that led to a brain damage, , I've achieved my educational goals and traveled extensively, all thanks to environments that support diversity and accessibility. Join me as we explore these experiences and the power of creating spaces where everyone can succeed. 💬 Your thoughts matter! If there's a topic you're curious about, comment below, and I might cover it in future posts. #AccessibilityMatters #BreakingBarriers
