Accessibility
Unfortunately, ASL will not be provided
OCADU is fully wheelchair accessible.
We are asking attendees to attend FAC with a scent-free policy in mind. However, for folks who have MCS, OCADU is an art college and as such the environment will have a variety of chemical triggers in the building.
A quiet art making room will be available for anyone needing a break.
Gender neutral bathrooms will be clearly marked.
Any personal support worker who is working will receive free admission.
The closest accessible subway station to OCADU is Osgoode Station (more detailed directions are below in the FAQ).
