Abstract Barrier-free envi ronment is an evolving concept that benefits everyone\, not only people wi th recognized disabilities. Making buildings and other physical spaces acc essible to people with disabilities is about more than just building ramps . From bathrooms to crowded classrooms\, from stop announcements on the bu s to elevators in buildings\, how do Canada\, and Montreal in particular\, “stack up on the ground”? The session will engage with the concept of uni versal design and explore the extent to which the physical environment is accessible for people with disabilities. The event follows the format of a teaching seminar and required reading resources will be circulated ahead of time. RSVP to chrlp.law [at] mcgill.ca by October 15. A light lunch wi ll be provided.
