Equal Access Collective is a dedicated group working in collaboration with local organizations and businesses to raise awareness, identify accessibility barriers, and implement practical solutions that foster a more inclusive community.
One of our recent accomplishments includes successful advocacy for improved access to the White Rock Pier. In August 2024, an accessible mat was installed along the left side of the pier, extending its full length. This mat provides vital support for individuals using mobility aids, while also benefiting all visitors by offering a smooth, gap-free surface.
For many, this was the first time they could reach the end of the pier—an experience long out of reach. While this is a temporary measure until the pier is fully rebuilt, it marks a significant step forward in making public spaces truly accessible for everyone.
