Some activities are also free with an Accès 2 or Companion Leisure (CAL) card, both of which grant access for disabled cardholders and their companions to a variety of cultural sites and recreational activities.
Getting to those attractions is becoming simpler by the day. The Société de transport de Montréal (STM) is on a fast track to improve access across the metro network, targeting 30 fully accessible stations by 2025. They've made headway with 25 stations now equipped with elevators (here's a map).
While some routes, like the yellow line to Parc Jean-Drapeau, are still catching up, downtown hub Berri-UQAM is set to join the accessible list by this summer.
Improvements continue above ground as well. Kéroul, the authoritative guide for wheelchair-friendly travel in Quebec, provides a detailed breakdown of entranceways, restrooms, and other critical features, that ensure every venue is truly welcoming. For the spots they've reviewed, you'll find links to their findings included in this list.
