Accessibility

Space for Grief is committed to creating an inclusive and accessible experience for all visitors. We recognize that accessibility is an ongoing practice, not a fixed outcome, and are continually working to improve how our spaces and experiences are designed.

The installation has been developed with inclusive design principles wherever possible, and includes:

  • Consideration for a range of sensory, cognitive, and mobility needs

We understand that accessibility needs can vary widely, and we welcome feedback from visitors to help us continue making this space more inclusive.

  • Barrier-free pathways and entrances, across the site and around the Space for Grief installation. 

  • Accessible washrooms

  • Air-conditioned indoor areas

COVID-19 Policy

Masks are not required but are available on-site upon request. We encourage all visitors to do what feels most comfortable for their health and safety.

We’re in the process of updating our installations and website to improve accessibility for all visitors.

We recognize that accessibility is an ongoing commitment and often requires additional resources. If you’re interested in supporting this work, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

Content Consideration

Space for Grief invites reflection on themes of loss, memory, and mourning. While the experience is designed to be gentle and supportive, some content may bring up strong emotions or personal memories.

We encourage visitors to engage at their own pace, take breaks as needed, and access on-site supports if available. You're welcome to step away or return at any time.

Volunteers are present to guide you through the space and ensure a welcoming environment. However, they are not mental health professionals and are not equipped to provide clinical or crisis support.

The team has a list of mental health resources available on-site, which can be provided upon request.

Space for Grief is a community support initiative and should not be considered a medical intervention.

If you need additional support, we invite you to access professional resources or speak with someone you trust.

If you are experiencing severe distress or require immediate assistance, please contact 911.
