Today, Mayor Jim Watson launched Key2Access and proclaimed May 31, 2018 AccessAbility Day in Ottawa during the City’s 15th annual AccessAbility Day celebrations at City Hall.
Key2Access, a location-based app, will provide users with information about where they are in City Hall and ultimately help residents better understand the space they’re in. The app works by signaling beacons located throughout City Hall. The beacons provide details about where users are located in the building, including mentioning any nearby amenities such as restrooms and elevators, allowing residents to navigate City Hall more independently. The tool can assist all people and particularly helps those who are blind or partially sighted.
The app is available for download for free via the Apple store or Google Play.
The City's AccessAbility Day celebrations focused on a healthy body and mind and featured Canadian Paralympians, Tyrone Henry and Todd Nicholson, discussing how they maintain optimal mental and physical health.
The event was organized in partnership with Ottawa Public Health and took place during National AccessAbility Week, which runs from May 27 to June 2, 2018.
Quotes
“The City of Ottawa is committed to making Ottawa a safe and accessible city for all our residents. The Key2Access system is a great, innovative tool that helps residents navigate City Hall more independently by helping users become aware of the environment and spaces they are in. By breaking down accessibility barriers, we improve the quality life of our residents and make Ottawa an even more livable city.”
Jim Watson, Mayor, City of Ottawa
“As a City, accessibility is part of everything we do. From construction to transit improvements, from increased housing options to programming offered at our recreation centres, the City of Ottawa is focused on eliminating barriers to our services.”
Steve Kanellakos, City Manager
“Ottawa Public Health believes that everyone has the right to good health and quality of life. Our physical abilities and experiences may differ; however, one thing we all share is that a healthy body and mind are key to maintaining and even improving overall health and well-being.”
Dr. Vera Etches, Medical Officer of Health
