ASL
EVENT ACCESSIBILITY
THESE SECTIONS REVIEW THE ACCESSIBILITY OF THE MARCH EVENT.
ASL, LIP READING AND/OR LIVE CAPTIONING ASL INTERPRETATION IS PROVIDED DURING THE SPEECHES THAT PRECEDE THE MARCH.
IF YOU ARE GIVING A SPEECH, THOSE SHOULD BE GIVEN TO ASL INTERPRETERS IN ADVANCE. PLEASE REMEMBER TO USE THE MICROPHONE, TO SPEAK SLOWLY AND TO SAY YOUR NAME BEFORE SPEAKING.

EVENT ACCESSIBILITY PART 2:
AS AN ALTERNATIVE TO ASL, THERE IS LIVE CAPTIONING RUN THROUGH A FREE SITE. IF WE USE THIS OPTION, THERE SHOULD BE A CLEAR LINE OF SIGHT BETWEEN THE LIVE CAPTIONING DEVICE (I.E. LAPTOP OR IPAD) AND THE PEOPLE NEEDING TO ACCESS THIS. MULTIPLE PEOPLE ARE ABLE TO VIEW THE LIVE TRANSCRIPT BY ACCESSING A SHARED LINK.

ASL
EVENT ACCESSIBILITY PART 3:
THE TRANSCRIPT CAN ALSO BE COPIED AND SHARED AFTERWARDS.

GETTING HERE
PARK TERRAIN
MOBILITY DEVICES:
THE PATHWAYS IN HOLLAND PARK ARE WIDE ENOUGH TO FIT LARGER MOBILITY DEVICES, UP TO 36 INCHES OR MORE.

GETTING HERE
PARK TERRAIN
PART 2:
QUALITY OF THE PAVEMENT:
THE PAVEMENT HAS A FEW CRACKS AND CAN BE UNEVEN, SO TAKE CARE WHEN USING A CANE OR MOBILITY DEVICE. THERE ARE A FEW AREAS THAT COULD POSE A TRIPPING HAZARD, SUCH AS NEAR THE EVENT LOCATION. WE WILL DO OUR BEST TO MARK UNEVEN PAVEMENT WITH CHALK.

STAIRS
THERE ARE NO STAIRS NEEDED TO ACCESS THE EVENT LOCATION OR THE MARCH; IF THERE ARE LEVEL CHANGES, THERE ARE RAMPS AND CURB STOPS.
AT THE EVENT LOCATION, THERE IS A CEMENT AREA THAT IS ONLY ACCESSIBLE BY STAIRS (4 STEPS OF A CONSISTENT 7 INCH HEIGHT). THERE ARE NO GUARDRAILS AND THERE IS NO RAMP DOWN TO THIS AREA. TO IMPROVE VISIBILITY, WE COULD ADD A DRASTICALLY DIFFERENT COLOUR TO THE EDGE (EVEN WITH GAFFING TAPE OR HAZARD TAPE), SO THAT THE STAIR'S EDGE CAN BE SEEN BETTER.

Gentle reminder:

our march is mask mandatory❤️

Please note that in order to help our most vulnerable members feel safe at our march, we are mask mandatory. We will provide masks for folks who do not have them. We believe disabled folks deserve equal access, and being mask mandatory helps us align with that belief.

Our march is on August 23 at 2pm📢📢

This was shared to us by one of our followers, .mandas.mith
Slide 1:
BC’s Chronic Illness Care Model Is Being Dismantled

Starting Sept 1, MSP will cap virtual group visits at 20 patients/hour- a change that threatens to collapse a care model that works for Long COVID, ME/CFS & Fibromyalgia.

Slide 2:
Clinics like the BC Centre for Long COVID, ME/CFS & Fibromyalgia currently serve 40–60 patients per session, delivering real, tangible, irreplaceable care- with patient testimonials to prove it. These visits are lifesaving for people who are housebound, rural, and chronically ill- and they reduce pressure on ERs, GPs, and specialists.

If this model disappears, thousands will be left behind.

Slide 3:
Email now: [email protected]
Email your local MLA

Tell them: Find a real solution. Protect this model. Patients can’t wait.



Thank you!
