We have reached a point in our evolution at which our current space no longer meets our needs.
There is more demand to participate in our activities than we have space to provide. Only our office is wheelchair accessible and as an organization grounded in inclusion this is not acceptable. The steps we can make towards environmental sustainability are restricted and we can no longer address these challenges as short-term tenants. We need a new home to give us stability and room to grow so that the Roulant can continue our work and respond to opportunities now and into the future.
Following two years of consultation and research in the community, we have identified the ideal space. 111 Roy Street East was built for food refrigeration and distribution downtown, and was most recently an artist-run gallery — the perfect combination of food and creativity for Santropol Roulant! We are excited to make our building as alive and accessible as Santropol Roulant itself. Our plan includes food production on-site, investing in environmental sustainability and becoming much more of a resource for our members and the wider community.
We hope you will join us in creating the next chapter of our story.
