Willing to help?

Tony

Hey Guy,

I thought you were non-verbal. If you want, I'll call for you. I use an electric wheelchair and am a quadriplegic, so I know how it goes with transportation. If you haven't got it arranged already, PM me with your details and I'll try to call tomorrow or Friday.

With all these incredibly generous offers for help, I may have to try to make the trip to TO in July. My fellow Terbites Rock!!

Later,

Jeff
 
Question for Alana

Just for my edification and others who use wheelchairs (especially power chairs) on this board, is the entrance to the venue held on July 16th accessible for wheelchairs? You mention that a wheelchair user could get into the club. Is the front end ramped or on street level or is physical help required to gain entrance? Would someone have to lift or bump up someone’s wheelchair to enter? I’m sure you know electric wheelchairs can be quite heavy, particularly in my case. So, lifting my chair would be somewhat dangerous and impractical.

Thanks in advance for the input.

Haha..

I think that's a different kind of help. Not that I'm averse to it, mind you..

After all, lifting your big, heavy object does sound like a lot of fun ;)

I posted a question on the previous page of this thread. Could you tell us about accessibility? Thanks.
 
Alana,

YOU ARE A TRULY, TRULY GREAT PERSON! THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING YOU HAVE DONE. IT IS VERY MUCH APPRECIATED!!!!!

Regarding the ramps. Probably not a great idea in that the slope it would create would be steep. But I can contact my rehab hospital and see if I can borrow theirs. I just need some idea on the length from the ground to the top of the rise.

Thanks,

SQ
 
Well Tony it looks like things are coming together to make it possible for you to come to the next event. It is unfortunate that being a big city like Toronto that some places arent accessible. Alana and Angelina I would suggest you keep that in mind for future events. It looks like with bringing ramps etc it is possible for someone in a wheelchair to attend the places that arent accessible. For me my limitation is climbing a lot of stairs. Sugar I found had too many but I just had to use them to get in and then leave at the end of the night lol. So a place with less stairs or none would be fine for me :)

sliding over to Morgan so she can grab whatever she wants!Reach out and touch something!
 
Alana did they give u any contacts for overnight attendant services? I'm trying to think of who can help. But they would know who is best
 
Well after thinking about it i cant think of any place that can help Tony. Maybe the March of Dimes has an idea. If Tony lived in Toronto it would be easier.

Tony the best bet is to bring an attendant with you.
 
I can offer assistance on the 22nd Tony but I don't feel qualified to fully meet your needs.

PM me closer to the date as your email address bounced back at me.

i just emailed CILT. The Executive Director is a friend of mind.

If he cant help, then I am out of ideas.

Leaf I lived in TO for 36 years & its things like this that make me want to move back but that is a whole different hell--teehee

Well hopefully CILT might be able to help if not I think your best bet is to bring an attendant from London with you

As far as lifting chairs as long as they have arms to lift them thats good.

Washrooms? are they accessible at Posh?
