ACCESSIBILITY

At Base31, we take accessibility seriously. We want the community and visitors who journey to our site to feel safe and seen.

As Base31 embarks on years of revitalization, it is paramount that it prioritizes accessibility.

Here are a list of things we have implemented on site, to ensure Base31 is compliant with the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA)

As Base31 considers its site and all visitors, it is front of mind to install larger entry ways on all of our buildings, and to include accessible push buttons on main doors. Though this is still in progress and not yet implemented, Base31 thanks everyone for their patience. We will continue our work to ensure the property, its buildings, event venues, art galleries and other public spaces are welcoming and accessible for all.

Base31 will work to ensure the event venues, art galleries and other public spaces meet accessibility standards.

We ask our community to please reach out with any feedback, questions or concerns regarding accessibility. Please contact us
