LPF has Rick Hansen Foundation Accessibility Certification (RHFAC)

Did you know that #LevelPlayingField is approved to provide your built environment with Rick Hansen Foundation Accessibility Certification (RHFAC)?

“Rick Hansen Foundation Accessibility Certification is a rating system that uses trained professionals to evaluate the meaningful access of commercial, institutional, and multi-unit residential buildings and sites.” This certification is becoming increasingly vital with our aging population, and the fact that “in Canada, almost 50 per cent of adults have or have experienced a permanent or temporary physical disability, or live with someone who has. Accessibility is more important than ever.”

Get in touch with #LPF by emailing access@levelplayingfield.ca to learn more about how we can help ensure your built spaces and places meet #RHFAC criteria and are #accessible to and #inclusive for all, regardless of ability or disability. You can also learn more about us at www.levelplayingfield.ca.
