Group Description
Join conversations with travelers with disabilities and welcoming locals, sharing tips on accessible hotels, wheelchair-friendly attractions, and transportation in Canada. From the towering Niagara Falls and the historic streets of Québec City to the Rocky Mountains of Banff and Jasper, Vancouver’s waterfront, and Toronto’s vibrant neighborhoods, whether it’s your first visit or a return trip, this is the place to ask about accommodations, getting around, or inclusive activities – someone here has likely experienced it before. You’ll find personal stories, travel tips, and recommendations for cultural, nature, and outdoor experiences. This group supports mobility aid users, as well as travelers with sensory sensitivities, low vision, and hearing loss, helping you enjoy a more accessible Canada adventure.
