Accessibility Acknowledgement
The Rockland Community Garden is a labour of love and a work in progress.
​
We're still under development and will continue to adapt to achieve our vision of an accessible space for all community members who wish to participate.
We are actively working with the City of Clarence-Rockland to facilitate changes to the parking, entrances, and washroom access.
​
The facilities within our designated space were designed, built, and modified in collaboration with the Clarence-Rockland Accessibility Advisory Committee, members of the community, and through research.
​
While we continue to work towards accessibility, we acknowledge barriers may still exist. We encourage feedback and support for projects that will help improve access; however, we would like to highlight that this project is 100% volunteer-run and we are doing the best we can with the knowledge and supports we have.
