A Challenge to Building Owners & Managers

Think your buildings are accessible? Prove it, with the Buildings Without Barriers Challenge.

By participating in the Challenge, commercial property owners and managers will gain valuable information about their buildings and show their visitors, employees, and customers their commitment to creating accessible spaces for everyone, everywhere.

Improved accessibility benefits everyone – the 1 in 5 Canadians with a disability, their caregivers and friends, our aging population, parents with strollers – the list goes on! If people of all abilities can’t navigate your buildings to live, work, learn, or access goods and services, they’re unable to participate fully in our communities, and you’re missing out on more visitors, staff and customers.

Build more sustainable spaces without costly retrofits. By committing to have at least 3 of your buildings rated using RHF Accessibility Certification, you’re demonstrating your leadership and commitment to a more accessible and inclusive future - and learning more about the true accessibility of your buildings in the process!

Participating Organizations will Receive:

   A certificate and public acknowledgement of participation
   Digital assets to communicate your commitment
   Accessibility improvement tips via exclusive webinars and resources
   Acknowledgement at the BOMEX 2021 Awards Gala
   Labels/plaques and profiles on the online Registry (for sites achieving certification)
