Identifying barriers — and solutions — across PEI

Improving accessibility access in Charlottetown

Thanks to the LIVE WELL PEI Wellness Grant, SCIPEI launched a provincewide
accessibility review survey to better understand where people encounter barriers in their daily
lives.

What we used the funding for

Developing a userfriendly accessibility survey
Printing materials and distributing the survey across PEI
Outreach through disability organizations, seniors’ groups, and community partners
Collecting and analyzing stories, examples, and priority locations for review

What we achieved

Islanders shared their experiences with accessibility — from businesses and parks to sidewalks and public buildings
We identified dozens of locations that community members want reviewed first
We collected powerful stories about both barriers and positive accessibility experiences

Why it matters

This project gives SCIPEI a clear, communitydriven roadmap for accessibility improvementsacross the province. The voices collected will shape future reviews, advocacy, and partnershipsaimed at building a more inclusive PEI.
