BEAA Continued Education &nbsp;&amp; &nbsp;Sawchuck Accessible Solutions present: ACCESSIBILITY INTO PRACTICE Architects and design professionals excel at optimizing code compliance, material costs, and structural efficiency. However, building codes are only a bare minimum&mdash;true accessibility requires shifting our perspective to the metric of human energy, safety, and independence. Join us on Monday, October 26, from 12:00&ndash;1:30 p.m. Atlantic Time for an online lecture featuring Julie Sawchuk, B.Sc., B.Ed., RHFAC. International Speaker, Best-Selling Author, Actor and recipient of the King&rsquo;s Coronation Medal, Julie is committed to helping everyone simplify accessibility. As an industry leader, she provides practical insights that helps stakeholders understand how accessible spaces and services maximize safety, maintain dignity and allow independence for people with disabilities. After sustaining a spinal cord injury in 2015, Julie became intimately aware of the everyday challenges of living in a world not built with accessibility in mind. Since then, she has become an industry leader, helping stakeholders understand how accessible spaces and services maximize safety, maintain dignity and allow independence through practical solutions.&nbsp; Using storytelling, expertise and humour, Julie reminds us that we all have a part to play in creating a world where people with disabilities don&rsquo;t have to expend extra energy to simply do life.
