A Canadian Vacation Option

UC People reports on Vacation Villa in Alberta:

For many of us, packing up the car and heading for a weekend getaway can take minimal preparations. Head out to the cottage or book a hotel room, pack a cooler, bathing suit and some supplies and head out on the open road. But what if it wasn't that easy? What if you were in a wheelchair?

Individuals facing mobility challenges aren't as fortunate to be able to leave town for the weekend. There are so many things to think about such as..."Will the place be accessible? Can I get into the bathroom? Can the restaurants accommodate my needs?" Not only are there limited vacation places with wheelchair access, but most importantly, as many individuals with disabilities live on assisted income, the cost of taking a vacation is just not feasible.
