The Ontario government is investing more than $2 million through the new Enhancing Access to Spaces for Everyone Grant to improve accessibility in communities across the province, with Thorold among those getting some coin.
The Thorold Community Activities Group is receiving up to $29,000 to improve outdoor accessibility at the city’s community centre, including upgrades to sidewalks, parking areas, and signage.
The improvements are aimed at making it safer and easier for seniors and people with disabilities to access recreation and food security programs.
Province-wide, the EASE Grant is supporting more than 40 projects designed to remove barriers and create more inclusive public spaces.
