Niagara-on-the-Lake’s RiverBrink Art Museum got a $92,800 boost from the provincial government this spring, and used the money to make improvements to the accessibility of the building in Queenston.

The art museum’s installed a new accessible ramp on one side of the building, updated its exterior stairs on another side and added handrails to the stairs.

These upgrades allow “visitors of all abilities, including those with mobility challenges” to “safely and comfortable experience exhibitions and programs” at RiverBrink, stated a May 1 media release.

“We are grateful to the Ontario Trillium Foundation for its generous support,” said director and curator Debra Antoncic. “These upgrades are an important step toward ensuring that RiverBrink is welcoming and accessible to everyone.”
