Accessible Entrance
– Our accessible entrance is located on the right side of the building in the Impark parking lot
– There is a full ramp with hand railings that leads to a side entrance to our building. There are no lips or steps to enter the building via the ramp
– Our building has transitioned to a locked building with a buzzer system, so the wall button to open the accessible entrance is no longer functional.
– Please call us at 204.615.3951 when you arrive and a staff member will be happy to open the door and assist you into the C2 Centre. Alternatively, visitors can contact the C2 Centre and make an appointment to visit, and our staff will be waiting at the accessible entrance to let you in when you arrive.
Wayfinding once you are inside the accessible entrance:
- Turn left once entering
- There is a heavy black door our staff member can open for you
- Once through the black door in the hallway, the C2 centre door is to the right
Washrooms
– The C2 Centre has two gender neutral family style washrooms that are large enough for a wheelchair to access
– There are two grab bars in each washroom, one located behind the toilet, and the second to the side of the toilet.
– Sinks are wall mounted
– We do not have a baby changing table, but our staff members can provide you access to a space to change your baby if needed while visiting
Parking
– Please pay careful attention to parking signs in the Exchange District.
– There is paid parking available in the Impark lot (shown in blue) along Cumberland (on the east side of C2/the right side when you are facing the main entrance). Please be sure to read the sign carefully though as many spaces are reserved.
