1 in 5 Canadians–and 1 in 3 Indigenous people–identify as having a disability. People with disabilities experience reduced access to mobility rights and needs compared to able-bodied people.   

Mobility-specific disabilities range from being almost fully able-bodied, to partial mobility, to being immobile without the use of mobility aids.   

Often, health and wellness advocates define a healthy person as someone who walks 10,000 steps a day— meanwhile, municipalities continue to overlook accessibility rights within their jurisdictions.  

We challenge you to restrict your daily step count to understand what it’s like when you cannot walk more than 1,000 steps per day. 

Review your step count each day and see how you can cut steps down without compromising your standard of living. Can you? If not, how come?
