Accessible businesses still blocking disabled
People with disabilities in Windsor are often running into problems, even with businesses that are deemed accessible.
Narrow hallways, automatic door that don't open and steps are just some of the barriers.
"It just adds to the frustration of all the different barriers that as a person like myself has to go through to have a regular day," said Brian Reaume, who has been living with multiple sclerosis for 8 years.
"It really makes a difference if you can just go into a business and feel that you belong or you're normal," said Reaume.
Kevin McShan has cerebral palsy and said getting around the city can sometimes be a tough task.
"It could be anything from the width of a door and how wide it is to get in. The space that they've designated once you get into a building in order to access where you need to be or whether it be opening a door that doesn't have a button," said McShan.
Each commercial building is required to have accessible customer service.
The province is pushing to implement more guidelines for buildings to be accessible.
