Upside MS Foundation

Forging pathways towards a barrier-free Canada

Access is only the beginning.

We close the accessibility gap in natural spaces, so people with MS and other mobility challenges can reach them. Participation is the point.

Accessibility installations

We design and build stable pathways that let people of all mobility levels reach natural spaces safely.

Advocacy and consultation

We work with municipalities and institutions to treat access as infrastructure. It belongs in the plan from the start.

Design observations and case studies

We document what we find on real sites and share it in plain terms, so better decisions get made next time.
