Why Accessibility?

Accessibility for Everyone

Barrier-free buildings create environments where all people, regardless of their levels of ability can live, work, and participate fully within them. Whether you are a business owner, residential developer, or government/community organization, Atlantic Accessibility can guide you through making almost any necessary modifications. Whether your needs are big or small, our process and focus on accessibility ensures an accurate and functional result for the end user.​

  • 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.
