New accessibility map launches on Town of Comox’s website

A new online tool will give Comox residents and visitors more help to navigate the community. 

The Town of Comox have launched their new accessibility map which aims to support mobility for people of all ages and abilities. 

Mayor Nicole Minions said the map is a practical tool to help with understanding accessibility in the community. 

“Whether you’re using a mobility aid, pushing a stroller, or simply want to get around a challenging terrain, this map can help you plan the safest route.” 

The map features accessibility highlights throughout the town, including elevation information for sidewalks and trails, accessible parking stalls, washrooms, pathways and community amenities. 

Grant funding from the Social Planning and Research Council of British Columbia (SPARC BC) was used to support the development of the online map.
