I just got some good news for Islanders with disabilities who visit the Charlottetown Farmer’s Market. The board accepted our request to install an automatic door for wheelchair users and other persons with disabilities.
The installation is expected to be completed late in the spring this year.
The request came from Lorraine Mutch who commented one day that it was hard for seniors and people with disabilities to open the door near the accessible parking. She was right. I encouraged Lorraine to ask Roger Greaves, the manager, herself for the door opener, since two voices are stronger than one.
I spoke to Roger that day and also Stephen Knechtel who is the board chair person. The had a board meeting and unanimously approved a new automatic door for the disabled at Farmer’s Market. Expected installation is by late spring. There’s a spot of good news today. We thank the Farmer’s Market who responded quickly and positively to make the Farmer’s Market more accessible even when it costs a little money.
