Accessibility on Bowen Island
Did you know that you can borrow medical equipment from the library? Crutches, wheelchairs, bathroom and bed assists… and more! Check out the Med Shed webpage.
And check out the Mountain Trike! It’s a manual, all-terrain wheelchair that you can take to the park and enjoy the trails.
