PAOV — “Prior to this diagnosis, I never really noticed how parks are not accessible in the city of Ottawa.” David’s daughter Lolo was recently diagnosed with Rett syndrome - a rare genetic disorder that affects brain development. Lolo cannot use her hands, never learned to walk, and will soon need a wheelchair. Very few of the parks in Ottawa have accessible play structures, so Lolo can’t play with other children. David wants this to change, and is calling on the city to bring accessible features into their parks. You can show your support by signing the petition now.
All city of Ottawa parks need to be inclusive and accessible!

Sign now with a clickMy 2 year-old daughter Lolo has recently been diagnosed with Rett syndrome. Rett syndrome robbed my daughter’s ability to speak and to use her hands. She also never learned how to walk. She will soon need a wheelchair. Prior to this diagnosis, I never really noticed how parks are not accessible in the city of Ottawa. Unfortunately, many parks are not accessible for my daughter and other children needing mobility aids.
That is why, I am suggesting that every new park built in Ottawa include accessible features and structures. All children deserve the opportunity to play at their local park.
