Home Ec - Grades 7-12 Art - Grades 7-12 Hockey Academy - Grades 5-12 Band access students head to cmhrRespect, inclusion, cooperation and fairness are relevant to everyone and this week our ACCESS class went on a field trip to the Canadian Museum for Human Rights. We enjoyed our guided tour of the building, seeing the many different exhibits and the discussion on language rights. Tours are offered in English and French and there are also many different accommodations available on the museum’s mobile app. All videos include open captioning, descriptive audio, American Sign Language (ASL) and Langue des signes québécoise (LSQ). The CMHR is 100% accessible and is the only destination in the entire province built to be accessible to everyone. It shows why universal design and consulting different groups of people during the construction process is important when designing an inclusive space. Often accessibility is an afterthought, or places that are supposed to be accessible clearly have not consulted anyone in a wheelchair or anyone who has pushed a wheelchair. We run into these obstacles all the time and appreciate the lengths the CMHR has gone to facilitate all people. All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights, and all students deserve to have somewhere they can go on a field trip.
