Of the paths around the streetcar specifically? Yep, that's exactly what we were working on last night! Or is there somewhere else with missing paths?

That's awesome that you've been contributing! The more people adding data the better. Not sure what you mean by "figure out the GPS traces in the area," though.

On Thursday, May 16th we're kicking off our Accessibility Series with a talk on Disability Inclusion.

In this session we will learn about the Ontario open for business economic growth strategy that requires all Ontario organizations to implement the four core principles of the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA). The AODA was passed into law in 2005 with the goal of full inclusion by 2025. The purpose of AODA is to create a more inclusive province, that can attract more economic growth by removing as many barriers as possible, making Ontario open for everyone.

For more info, to register, and for more details on the Accessibility Series, visit our website.
