Accessibility Statement

Marymound is committed to positively contributing to the lives of our staff, the children, youth and families who use our services, and all Manitobans, including those living with disabilities.  Marymound is committed to inclusion and to reducing barriers for all Manitobans, including people living with disabilities. We aim to ensure our online content, programs, and physical spaces are as accessible as possible.

Active Offer and Feedback

If you experience a barrier while accessing Marymound spaces or services, we will do our best to provide accommodations with two weeks’ notice. We welcome feedback on the accessibility of our services and website.

Building Accessibility – Plan Your Visit To Marymound

Our administrative building at 442 Scotia is not wheelchair accessible. Ground-level access and accessible washrooms are available at Marymound School during public events. Service animals are welcome, our washrooms are gender neutral, and we ask visitors to avoid wearing scents.

Parking and public transport

Free parking, including accessible stalls, is available onsite. Public transit users should expect a 400-meter walk from the nearest Main Street stop.

Website Information 

With support from the Manitoba Accessibility Fund, we rebuilt our website to meet WCAG 2.1 AA standards. Guided by our values of collaboration and respect, we partnered with Manitoba-based developers and consulted directly with people living with disabilities. Lived-experience testers helped us identify and address barriers throughout development.

We continue regular accessibility reviews and welcome community feedback.
