Dear editor:

I would like to extend my sincere congratulations to the Niagara-on-the-Lake council for adopting the StopGap Ramp Program and kudos to Pamela TurnerSmith for her tireless effort to bring it to fruition.

I am truly impressed by their commitment to improving accessibility in public spaces.

This forward-thinking initiative will undoubtedly benefit local residents, and as a popular tourist destination, Niagara-on-the-Lake stands to gain even more by reducing physical barriers for individuals using mobility devices, pushing strollers, or facing other access challenges.

If effectively promoted, I am confident that participating businesses will not only see increased foot traffic but will also be recognized for their leadership and goodwill in fostering a more inclusive community.

Congratulations again.

Cheryl Katz
