Luke Anderson: StopGap

A Chat with Heart - with Christina Martin

Christina chats with the co-founder of StopGap Luke Anderson about making spaces more inclusive and accessible, and Blues harmonica.

StopGap Foundation was registered as a Canadian charity in October 2013. What began as a small one-off project in Toronto to remove barriers to accessing built environments has turned into a global MOVEMENT! StopGap has developed exciting programs that help raise awareness about barriers in our built environment and engage communities to work towards removing these barriers.

Stopgap presently has populated the world with 2000+ ramps!
