Lessons Canada, as a nation, is actively addressing the essential human rights issue of achieving universal accessibility for persons with disabilities— this must be an integral part of the sustainable heritage conservation movement as well. According to the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act, people are not disabled, poorly designed environments create barriers that disable people. Making heritage available to future generations is the core purpose of conservation, which should include people of all abilities.

Description The Assessable Heritage program initiated with the publication of the Accessible Heritage Tool Kit, a resource for managers of heritage properties to improve barrier- free access. It was developed in partnership by the Ontario Historical Society and the Accessibility Directorate of Ontario in response to the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (2005).

Natural/Cultural Heritage Improving accessibility in historic buildings and sites poses unique challenges for conservation architects, especially in designated National Historic Sites. Traditional conservation viewpoints present potential conflicts between universal-design and heritage conservation New attitudes about human rights and sustainable heritage conservation are synergistic.

Environmental Sustainability Making existing buildings adaptable to future needs is more resilient, and saves infrastructure waste and embodied energy. A major component of environmental sustainability is biodiversity, which includes the human genome. Our built environment should be supportive of human diversity.

Socio-economic Sustainability Accessible tourism is a growing market as the Canadian population is ageing. With the AODA, and updates in other standards, places that are inaccessible will not be allowed to continue to operate.

Socio-cultural Sustainability Consider intangible heritage and the sense of place. Keeping a place alive with community involvement is as important to preserving heritage value as its physical structure, and people of all abilities should be able to fully participate. Promoting cultural diversity, differently-abled populations have history and culture that should be visible and shared. An essential step is to remove the barriers that inhibit different cultures from interacting.
