Accessibility & Directions
Elevator Directions (Physical Access):
The building has an elevator which can be accessed at the accessible entrance next to the main entrance facing fifth street (it has a blue wheelchair sign). Once inside that entrance there will be a ramp. Go down that ramp and to the right you will see a door. Open that door (button available) and once you go through that door and down the ramp, the elevator will be on the left.
NOTE: The door is locked after 5:00pm and can be opened by pressing a buzzer to the reception desk.
To the Community Room
Once inside the elevator go to the third floor. The community room will be outside the elevator on the 3rd floor. Go straight and the door is on the right. It will be labelled with a sign.
To Meeting Rooms 301 & 302:
Once on the third floor, for the most direct route, go straight and through the community room on the right. After going through the room past the kitchen and the washrooms you will see meeting rooms 301, 302, & 303. If the community room is closed or occupied, you may go around:
To go around from the elevator there is a door immediately on the right with a yellow and silver sign listing “Administration, Family Service Toronto, Speech Therapy, Meeting Rooms 301, 302, 303, and Washrooms” Go through that door and follow the hallways until you see a left turn past the printing and photocopying room. Turn left, go past the washrooms, and on your right you will see meeting rooms 301 & 302.

Go to the stairs directly across from the reception desk. Go up to the top floor and then turn right.

Options for Accessibility:
We can offer live typing in person or via skype for the hearing impaired. In the future as this committee and its resources grow, we hope to have better options available.
We understand that as of now our options for accessibility are very limited. Stay tuned for improvements in accessibility as our community and resources grow.
If there are any issues with the accessibility of this initiative please let us know through our anonymous survey by clicking [link coming soon], or on our page titled "Your Comments" We can use your feedback to advocate for funding to be allocated to accessibility.
