  • Such a fun experience

    Our team has had the greatest time volunteering at StopGap. So much so, that we have gone twice! It’s such a fun experience getting to know your team in a different space, and working alongside everyone at StopGap has been so amazing. We can’t wait to go back again!

  • The ramp gets used everyday by our customers

    StopGap is great to work with, their team is super helpful and responsive. As a bike shop, the ramp gets used everyday by our customers.

  • The experience aligned perfectly with our values

    “Our team partnered with StopGap for Context Creative’s first volunteer initiative, where we spent the morning painting and stencilling ramps. It was a fun, hands-on way to gain a deeper appreciation for the challenges many people face navigating the built environment. We all feel proud when we spot a ramp at a local business!

    A highlight was meeting Luke, StopGap’s co-founder, who shared his personal story and advocacy work with us. As a design and communications agency with our own accessibility task force, the experience aligned perfectly with our values.


    We all left feeling proud of the impact we made and would highly recommend it to other organizations—the experience will stay with you long after the paint has dried.”

  • Our little ramp is getting a lot of use

    It took a classroom of brave kids to convince me that having a StopGap ramp would improve accessibility to my shop. I am grateful to them.
    Our little ramp is getting a lot of use by our customers—thank you.

  • Something so simple can have such a big impact

    The StopGap ramps have made such a difference at Arbequina and in our neighbourhood, making it easier for everyone to access our space. It’s amazing how something so simple can have such a big impact—our guests feel more welcome, and no one has to struggle to get in. We’re so grateful for this small change that’s made our restaurant more inclusive for everyone!

  • An easy and effective solution

  • A positive impact on the community

    Quadrangle has long admired StopGap and when the opportunity to get our hands dirty in the shop came up, we jumped at the opportunity. Haley Rae and Velanie were a pleasure to work with while Luke was as charismatic as ever and let us pick his brain about design solutions and how he grew his organization. Our team had a great time prepping ramps for distribution to businesses, residences, and cultural institutions across the province. If you are looking for a fun activity to do with your team or friends while also making a positive impact on the community, I highly recommend doing a Paint Day.

  • An incredible time laughing and learning and painting

    I wanted to extend my thanks to the StopGap Foundation for inviting us in for the day to help paint ramps. It ranks as one of my best days of the year. The kindness, generosity and compassion of the team is evident in everything they do: from providing information to me and my fellow volunteers about the mission and value of StopGap, to instructing us on the best way to paint (there’s a technique!), Velanie, Haley Rae and Luke were equal parts patient and fun, and I had an incredible time laughing and learning and painting. Thank you so much for inviting us to be a part of the StopGap mission for the day!
