Startup aims to improve accessibility for all Calgarians
A new company founded by a familiar face is developing a game plan on how to improve accessibility of all city-owned buildings.
Darby Lee Young sat on the City of Calgary's advisory committee on accessibility for nearly five years – more than two of those years as the chair – before launching, earlier this year, the universal design consulting company Level Playing Field.
The Calgary-based firm will be auditing about 1,000 city-owned structures, including the Municipal Building, to determine improvements that need to be made to make the facilities accessible to people of all abilities.
