Tori Lacey, 26, chronicled the troubling incident on her #TikTok & #Instagram pages, where she usually posts content about her #travel exploits as a person who uses a #wheelchair.
Curtis's humiliation came from the fact that at his graduation, the ramp to get onto the stage was too steep & #inaccessible for #WheelchairUsers.
Curtis has #EhlersDanlos syndrome, a connective tissue disorder that causes joint dislocations & severe pain, which is why he uses a #wheelchair & has a service animal.
Devices such as #MobiMats allow people to move across the sand to the water on a sturdy platform, which would make it easier for people like Lumsdon to cross the beach.
...in #Toronto, the city says only three of its 10 supervised #swimming#beaches — Woodbine, Ward's Island & Centre Island — have #accessibility features like mats, decks or beach #wheelchairs that people can reserve ahead of their visit.
