Accessibility and easier access visits

Parks Canada is committed to ongoing improvement of visitor assets, visitor services, and visitor experience to incorporate principles and considerations for accessibility.

Accessible buildings and facilities

Visitor centre

 

• The visitor centre is located at the end of 61st Avenue, past the visitor parking lot.
• The path between the parking lot and the visitor centre is made of gravel.
• The entrance door to the visitor centre has a flat threshold.
• Restrooms are accessible.

Visitor parking

• The visitor parking lot includes designated spaces for people with reduced mobility or disabilities.

Ferry

We are committed to providing a welcoming and enjoyable experience for all our visitors and passengers. However, we regret to inform you that the ferry is not accessible to people using electric wheelchairs, three-wheel mobility scooters, or four-wheel mobility scooters due to the sloped ramp, steps to board the ferry, and the limited width of the boarding door.

Île aux Noix

Please note that Île aux Noix is only accessible by ferry. Therefore, people who cannot board the ferry are unfortunately unable to visit the island, which means it is not accessible to people using electric wheelchairs, three-wheel mobility scooters, or four-wheel mobility scooters.

• The path between the arrival dock on Île aux Noix and the barracks is made of gravel, but all outdoor areas are covered with grass, which could make it difficult for people with reduced mobility to get around.
• Temporary outdoor toilets are not accessible.

Wheelchairs

Parks Canada provides standard wheelchairs for visitors upon request. Please inquire at the visitor center reception desk.
