UPEI has received funding through the Rick Hansen Foundation to improve accessibility to 10 campus buildings.
The university will get a $30,000 funding grant through the foundation’s Access4All Program, a Canada 150 Signature Initiative aimed at breaking down barriers for people living with disabilities.
The grant will fund a Barrier Buster project at UPEI that will see ten buildings on the UPEI campus receive infrastructural accessibility upgrades.
An awareness event and announcement detailing the upgrades and improvements will be held later this fall.
