Accessibility Day in Forest not an easy one for councilors
Lakeshore Advance
The adage, "to know how another
lives, fiat wheel a mile in their chair "
\vas put to the test 011 Saturday, Sept
10th in Forest. Councillors; Doug lion-
esteel, Ruth Illnlan, Dave Maguire,
Leede Scott ttnd Martin Underwood
under the watchful eye of Noreen (;rox-
ford local member of the l•anlhton
Shores accessibility committee took a
small trip round Forest using wheel-
chairs which were kindly lent by the
Forest Legion, Branch 1716.
"To say the experience was an eye
opener would an understatement,
From getting the \vheelchair (which 1
naively thought ought to be tight and
compact) out and (11t0 the back of my
car to my arms pumping away like some
crazy piston engine provided my fellow
Councillors and 1 a perspective of the
world as seen from persons with the
challenge of accessibility. I also gained
new respect for Rick Monsen as he
climbed the Great Wall of China, (1
mean Forest is flat!)," said l Inderwood.
"Personally I will never look at a side-
walk ramp the same way again, What 1
thought %v'as reasonable standing on
two good feet is quite 11 different story
when viewed from a chair with tiny
front wheels that don't like uneven con-
crete and rear wheels not ideal for stop
ping. It is not unreasonable for all our
citizens to have mobility and the ability
to perform mundane tasks which most
of us take for granted."
