Beach Access Mats Being Installed

The City has installed Accessibility Mats (MobiMat) at Spruce Beach and will continue with installation at Spine Beach in the coming days (weather permitting).

Access mats will ensure safe and inclusive accessibility to City beaches. They are AODA compliant, portable and removable, and provide an access route that can be used by individuals of varying abilities who are unable to navigate through the sand.

The MobiMat products are the only accessibility beach mat system that is not only designed to be used at beaches that are sand and stone but is the only mat system in the world specifically designed to be used in the cold and on top of snow as well as grass and uneven or sloped surfaces. Being so quick and easy to reinstall, the mats can be used year round by the City to improve accessibility at events and locations throughout the community. As a few examples, the mats can be used during Winterfest, Fishing Derby, Drag Races, Uranium Heritage Day festivities to improve access and inclusivity for all those in the community, or visiting.

Mobichairs will also be available upon request to assist users with access to the water. 

Due to COVID 19 and other factors the mats are being installed later in the season than anticipated. They will be removed in early fall and re-installed at the beaches Spring 2021.
