Lawyer crusades against accessibility problems caused by inadequate laws

HINA ALAM, Toronto Star Staff Reporter, December 2, 2016
Toronto lawyer David Lepofsky is highlighting Centennial College building’s accessibility problems. But that is not the complete picture. These accessibility issues are the symptoms of a bigger problem, Lepofsky says. The Centennial College building opened in late August of this year to accept student residents while the Culinary Arts Centre on the ground floor opened in time for classes on Sept. 6. Other publicly-financed buildings, such as Ryerson’s Student Learning Centre, the new Women’s College Hospital, and major renovations at York’s Osgoode Hall Law School also have accessibility problems, Lepofsky said.
