Of the 25 gas stations she's
approached with the idea, Cowan
says close to half have responded
that it's a good idea.
"They say they'll do it if they're
able," she says, adding that once a
larger number begin to participate,
she'll link their locations to the
tourism website to inform tourists
of accessible gas stations.
While Archie's UPI was already a
full service gas station before erect-
ing the sign, McLachlan says the
sign "is key" to easing the minds of
travellers who need help
filling up.
"I always make sure
I thank them for being
full service and give
them the credit that's
due. Without them, I
don't know what I'd
do," he says.
Terry Knechtel, of
UPI, says the company
has several locations
that are still full service
County's accessibility committee is
suggesting.
"We've never had this
type of request before
but it's a good idea to
create awareness. The
sign is an indicator
that we welcome all
customers," he says.

sort of signage at other
UPI full service gas
stations has not been

Huron County made him aware
that the station's full service sign
could be made more visible for
passersby.
"We're happy our company is
sticking with that feature and we
felt we should advertise it more," he
says, adding that they get a steady
stream of compliments both from
the elderly and those in wheel-
chairs.
"It's very hard for people in wheel-
chairs to get out and pump their
own gas and the elderly community
would struggle. They're so thankful
for full serve," says Robinet.
