What happened
The City of Ottawa is funding a pilot project aimed at introducing portable ramps to local businesses. This initiative follows the indefinite hiatus of StopGap Ottawa, a non-profit that had been producing and selling ramps since 2015 due to low demand and affordability issues. The funding was secured through the mayor's office to provide the ramps for free.
