Braille signage in Sam Smith Park

Winter is a slow time for DASSP, and our members, as the cold, poor weather, and ongoing pandemic limit our ability to be out and about enjoying the park and its wildlife.

That's not to say that we haven't been beavering away behind the scenes.  Recently, Janette, from Toronto Forestry has been asking about the Braille signage we are most interested in obtaining for Sam Smith Park.   

One of our members, Vesty Roze, has forwarded his resource materials on the subject, and Janette will be following up, as she is extremely interested, and is one of our key Allies, who was instrumental in correcting the surface of the Observation Deck last year.

Let's hope we have some progress on Braille, and we will be following up in the coming months.

Important Warning Signage at SSP is not Disabled Friendly.

Some very important signage at Sam Smith Park has long been placed too high for most Disabled to even notice.

As visitors enter from the parking lot through the circular drop off area, there is a Coyote warning sign which has been placed higher than even the top of the head of an able bodied visitor !

DASSP will be following up to first, determine which government group is responsible for signage, and then to ensure the problem is corrected throughout the park.
