Thirty percent of all Canadians consider accessibility when deciding which businesses to visit. Is your building accessible? The Rick Hansen Foundation Accessibility Certification™ (RHFAC) program is the first of its kind to create a consistent universal rating system that measures meaningful access in the built environment from the perspective of people with mobility, vision and hearing disabilities.
The next RHFAC Accessibility Assessor training course starts at Vancouver Community College on April 1. Upon completion of the course and successful completion of the exam, participants will earn a professional designation and be qualified to conduct ratings to ensure meaningful access for all.
By 2030, $316 billion will be added to the Canadian economy annually, as spending by people with disabilities grows faster than any other demographic.
Improving accessibility isn’t just the right thing to do. It’s also an economic imperative.
