From the City of Williams Lake:
The Accessibility Award of Merit was presented to the Walmart Supercentre –Store 1106 Williams Lake at the City Council meeting held October 5, 2010. Mr. Mike O’Connor accepted the award on behalf of the store’s management team. Walmart was nominated for the award by the Chairperson of the Seniors Advisory Council of Williams Lake, Audrey MacLise. Audrey noted in her nomination that the store has installed twelve Handicapped Parking spaces close to the main entrance of the store, the automatic door openers at the entrance work very well, and the washroom doors are easy to open.
In addition, there are three wheelchair accessible washrooms, one of which is a family washroom, great for parents with babies. The store aisles are extra wide and easy for people with wheelchairs, walkers and strollers to manoeuvre around. Councillor Surinderpal S. Rathor, representative on the Accessibility Advisory Committee, says that one of his favourite assets is that the store provides a comfortable seating area near the front entrance and has several electric and manual wheelchairs for customers to borrow while shopping.
