Tourism Prince George has launched a new way to help those with mobility challenges plan a getaway to the Northern Capital.
In partnership with Spinal Cord Injury BC and with support from Pacific Economic Development Canada, Tourism PG launched a new, 3D Accessibility Virtual Tour Map on its website.
“It’s just based off conversations and working side-by-side with them of kind of recognizing that accessibility information is often incomplete or inconsistent,” explained Tourism Prince George Interim-CEO Carmen Herman.
“People with mobility challenges need more than just a rating system before they’re travelling, so this way they get to actually interact and see whether a space works for them.”
The interactive map highlights a number of locations around Prince George, such as hotels, trails, parks, attractions and transportation hubs.
Herman added she hopes the work on this will continue.
“A lot of our partners do focus on accessibility and it is a priority,” she explained.
“We do recognize that for some of our partners, they just need a little extra time due to capacity and funding. It is live on our website and we’re open to those conversations of, we want to see this list grow.”
The virtual tour can be found here.
