Preserving the Past, Embracing the Future
Canada’s heritage sites, while fewer in number compared to Europe, face significant challenges in accessibility due to strict preservation laws.

For example, cobbled streets with uneven surfaces or significant level differences create obstacles for wheelchair users and others with mobility challenges. This qualitative ac…

A user-led audit of the walkability and wheelability of Quebec City’s neighborhoods by mobility assistive technology users
For mobility assistive technology (MAT) users, environmental obstacles or helpful elements can make the difference between disabling situations and social participation. User led environmental evaluations can highlight difficulties MAT users experience, which can inform changes to the built and social environment. This study used the Stakeholders' Walkability/Wheelability Audit in Neighbourhood People with Disabilities (SWAN-PDW) to identify obse…

These findings have informed the objectives of the next action plan of the municipal organization and could guide the development of solutions
Providing community services for persons with disabilities during the Covid‐19 pandemic
Community organisations and municipalities support people with disabilities by providing resources and services that are essential for their engagement in the community. Their services were particularly impacted by restrictions related to the COVID-19 pandemic. The aim of the study is to identify scientific literature that examines how community organisations and municipalities adapted services and resources provided to people with disabilities a…
Impact of the Covid-19 Pandemic on Older Adults
BACKGROUND: The COVID-19 pandemic has drastically changed the lives of countless members of the general population. Older adults are known to experience loneliness, age discrimination, and excessive worry. It is therefore reasonable to anticipate that they would experience greater negative outcomes related to the COVID-19 pandemic given their increased isolation and risk for complications than younger adults. OBJECTIVE: This study aims to synthes…
Accessibility of Online Resources for Associations Providing Services to People with Brain Injuries in Covid-19 Pandemic

Problematic caregiving activities among family carers of older adults with disabilities
Family carers of older adults with disability often both experience stress that may affect their ability to provide care, and find some caregiving activities differentially challenging. The objectives of this research are to identify the caregiving activities that are most problematic to carers and to explore the reasons why carers found these activities challenging. Participants were past or current carers aged 19 years and older. Using an expla…
Using photovoice to increase social inclusion of people with disabilities
The aim of this study was to understand the mobility experiences of mobility device users regarding the environmental and social barriers and facilitators in their community and to discuss the benefits and challenges of using photovoice, as a participatory methodology, to increase social participation for people with disabilities. Photovoice was used with mobility device users ( n = 70) in two different locations in Canada. The participants took …
The positive effects of caring for family carers of older adults
The negative effects of caring are well documented; however, positive effects have received less attention. A scoping review of 22 studies published between 2000 and 2018 was conducted regarding the positive effects of family caring for older adults. Our analysis revealed that positive effects are embedded in relationships, summarised in three themes: in relationship with one’s self (the carer), for example, personal growth; in relationship with …
Factors affecting the activity spaces of people who use mobility devices to get around the community
Methodological Insights into the Scientific Development of Design Guidelines for Accessible Urban Pedestrian Infrastructure
This paper provides methodological insights into the development of design guidelines for accessible pedestrian infrastructure for individuals with physical disabilities (IPD) in Québec’s municipalities that could be replicated elsewhere. Nominal groups of experts including people with disabilities, health clinicians and researchers, and representatives from municipalities and transportation societies allowed the validation of recommendations fou…
Exploring Powered Wheelchair Users and Their Caregivers’ Perspectives on Potential Intelligent Power Wheelchair Use
Power wheelchairs (PWCs) can have a positive impact on user well-being, self-esteem, pain, activity and participation. Newly developed intelligent power wheelchairs (IPWs), allowing autonomous or collaboratively-controlled navigation, could enhance mobility of individuals not able to use, or having difficulty using, standard PWCs. The objective of this study was to explore the perspectives of PWC users (PWUs) and their caregivers regarding if and…
