Did you know Access BC was developed out of a need to improve accessible outdoor spaces and recreational tourism opportunities in BC?
Since 2007, we’ve audited more than 500 outdoor spaces, formed partnerships with tourism associations across the province, created travel guides, supported the development of accessible recreation spaces, and much more. Take a look at some of our highlighted work below.
