I think it's really great that Rick Mercer has done something to try to promote this small business, raise awareness of people's needs, and to try to encourage store owners to make their businesses much more accessible for everyone, including those who use wheelchairs.
Why years later have i not seen these? I realized how hard it was for people in wheelchairs when I became a mom pushing a stroller. So wrong they aren't everywhere.
Emily Daigle Don't get me wrong I think they're great and I'm glad they've helped, it's good I see them so often. It'd be nice to have a small incline on the side but then people who skate might use it as a ramp and I don't want that either
I'm sure they could be dirt cheap if there was a larger factory with an efficient assembly line. At the moment it seems like it's a small organisation so not much economies of scale.
Simple and effective. I wonder how it's built? Is it in one inch increments and the colour denotes the inches high? I'm gonna start looking for them when I go to Toronto today
Great idea! I hope these ramps appear all over the country
An idea that is so simple and yet so necessary. Well done.

Great idea ❤ - I always had a problem wheeling my mom across the door jam though , almost flew out one time 😢
"One step at a time"... bad choice of words
Bloody awesome.
Sad that it's 2016 and that isn't just an afterthought in an old history book.. Let's make that happen, maybe?
That's a shitload of overspray on that decal rick :P

Here's hoping we'll get them next door.....and that people won't vandalise them or steal them like they do with everything else.
I just wonder if the store is accessible
What about the snow ice .
as long as the door is open
It's Canada. People open the doors for other people. It's as essential as breathing here.
Joseph Summers actually no, they really don't, at least not very often in Toronto, it's really rare actually.
Emily Daigle
Really. Maybe its just you. I live in the GTA and people hold the doors open for me all the time, and I do for them.
Good idea but as a someone who skateboards they have become a common obstacle to avoid

$150 to $350 for a couple piece of plywood? Damn.
That's actually not bad. The painted.

It's still cheap enough for most companies, anyway.
that moment when a 905er realizes they've been to Toronto so many times, they recognize Rick's street scenes
