A further note about wheelchair access Dear QPIRG space users -- We wrote last week to mention that the QPIRG space was no longer wheelchair accessible, due to a blockage of the ramp in front of our space.
We wanted to update the situation: the ramp in front of our space is now accessible, but only if you access it by entering via the back alley. The back alley is accessible on Mackay street (the west side) just south of Maisonneuve. Clearly, due to construction, the situation can change. We encourage space users who want to know detailed info about access to the space to get in touch and we can give you the most detailed info we have at the time. But, as of today (November 16) the ramp in front of our building is accessible if you enter through the back alley. In solidarity, -- The QPIRG staff.
