Transparency Statement

 

Improving the accessibility in the Garneau Theatre has been an ongoing project and we thank you for your patience while we continue to find solutions to remove barriers in the space. Unfortunately, we do continue to face a variety of structural challenges to adapting a historic building to make it more accessible. While we have explored the possibility of adding lifts and ramps as an alternative to our stairs that would provide greater access from the auditorium to the lobby and vice-versa, these efforts have proved unfeasible, requiring us to continue searching for a better solution.

 

Additionally, there are significant financial constraints that we must navigate as a non-profit and charitable organization renting the space rather than owning it outright. However, we would like to stress that accessibility is a major and ongoing concern for our organization—one that we are committed to—and that while we have made significant improvements over the years, we recognize that our work is not yet done.
