Surrey, BC — Equal Access Collective is proud to announce the BC Walk & Roll Accessibility Parade, taking place leading up to National AccessAbility Week 2026in Surrey.
The BC Walk & Roll Accessibility Parade is a landmark community event celebrating accessibility, inclusion, and a barrier-free future. Organized by the Equal Access Collective, the parade will begin on the roadside outside Holland Park and travel to Surrey City Hall Plaza, bringing the community together in a visible celebration of accessibility.
This walk-and-roll-only parade welcomes participants using mobility aids, non-motorized cycles, or walking alongside family and friends. Cars or motorized floats are not permitted, ensuring the event remains focused on inclusive participation and accessibility.
Following the parade, a community festival at Surrey City Hall Plaza will feature speakers, performers, accessibility organizations, food trucks, and family-friendly activities. The festival will provide opportunities for community members, advocates, organizations, and businesses to connect while showcasing accessibility innovations and resources.
More than one in four Canadians live with a disability, including over 900,000 British Columbians. The BC Walk & Roll Accessibility Parade aims to raise awareness about accessibility barriers while encouraging individuals, organizations, and communities to rethink how their spaces, services, and practices can become more accessible. By highlighting the benefits of accessibility for everyone, the event invites people to consider how small changes can help remove barriers and create more inclusive communities.
The event is expected to bring together individuals, families, community organizations, and advocates from across the Lower Mainland and beyond.
