We are proud to celebrate Carmela Spadafora for her remarkable work improving accessibility at the University of Alberta. After experiencing challenges navigating campus using DATS, Carmela led a working group and survey to identify key issues, then collaborated with University staff to implement improvements across more than 50 stops.
Her initiative demonstrates how community-led action can drive real change, making campus more inclusive and showing that people with diverse abilities can lead, innovate, and create meaningful impact.
