Everyone deserves access to Nature

Canadian Disabled Outdoor Society

Our mandate is to work to remove barriers for disabled people to access nature and outdoor spaces

We believe the first step is to work with landowners to help them provide the right information to the disabled community, recognizing the varied access needs of the disabled population. When relevant accessibility information is readily available, it is easy for disabled individuals to assess the conditions against their own unique access needs, and plan accordingly. 

Our Vision is to dismantle barriers between disabled people and the outdoors by creating inclusive, accessible spaces, improving access to adaptive outdoor equipment, and transforming how society views disability and outdoor recreation.
