A huge thank you to our PROMise Party Champion Sponsor and longtime supporter The Daniels Corporation for helping us create a world (and dancefloor) that’s more accessible for all 💟

For over 40 years, Daniels has been shaping inclusive, people-first communities across the GTA. We’re so grateful for their ongoing support of our awareness-raising work 🙌

“At The Daniels Corporation, we believe inclusive design is essential to building stronger, more equitable communities. We’re proud to support StopGap, whose work shows how small changes, like a single ramp, can break down big barriers. This impact extends beyond physical spaces, sparking vital conversations and driving change around accessibility and inclusion. Their mission closely aligns with our commitment to creating spaces where everyone feels welcome, and truly belongs."

💥 Whooooo’s ready to get HYPED with DJ Peachez on the dance floor at PROMise Party?! ✨

“As a DJ, I know the power of live music – it’s about bringing people together on the same beat. In Toronto, we need that vibe in every space, but when venues aren’t accessible, a lot of us miss out on the collective power of music.
That’s why I’m proud to support StopGap's work to turn our city's venues into inclusive spaces where every beat is within reach. Let’s keep the rhythm rolling, no matter the obstacle.” - DJ Peachez

🔊 Check out some of his sets at https://www.mixcloud.com/dj-peachez/ - we’ve been bopping to The Groove Theory all day!

✨ We’re thrilled to have the incredibly talented Dinesh Subramanian (www.watercolorimpressions.ca) joining us at PROMise Party to create a live painting 🖌✨

“I’m a watercolor artist and art educator based in Toronto. I create paintings that capture the beauty of the world around us, exploring both cityscapes and nature. Through my work, I aim to share a sense of wonder and connection that everyone can relate to. I support StopGap’s mission because everyone deserves equal access to spaces and opportunities, and making environments inclusive is as meaningful as creating art that anyone can connect with.” - Dinesh Subramanian

Dinesh is the recent Art Battle Toronto Masters Champion, and we’re excited to see what he comes up with for our event! You’ll be able to bid on his piece at our silent auction on the night of the fundraiser!

As a creative who utilizes my own disabilities within my art making process, I love supporting StopGap, as our values align. It's so important to create intentional space and accessibility for everyone to thrive.” - Kyla Yager

✨ We’re honoured to introduce our PROMise Party MC, Spencer West! 🎤✨

You may recognize Spencer as a content creator on Instagram and TikTok, where he shares his lived experience and advocates for disability justice through engaging videos, always delivered with creativity and hilarity! He is also an incredibly talented motivational speaker and has climbed Mount Kilimanjaro! If you’re familiar with Spencer’s work, you know we’re in for a treat 💜

“As a disabled person who acquired my disability at birth, I have experienced a lifetime of barriers and inaccessibility. One of the frustrating parts about advocating for accessibility is how long it can take for it to come to fruition and waiting for everyone else to understand its importance. What StopGap does is speed up the process and show folks that with a little creativity, accessibility is absolutely possible and ultimately benefits everyone." - Spencer West

Hey Carbonic Coffee! Looks like you’ve got a new location in the works! That’s exciting! What would make it even more exciting is if you took this step out while undergoing your renovation.

We all need to work together in our roles as customers, business owners, building owners, designers, and builders to ensure that accessibility is prioritized when investing in a renovation or choosing a space to run a business out of.

Leaseholders, big and small, hold the keys to change. Avoiding inaccessible options sends a message to building owners to invest in accessible renovations. Choosing a building that’s not accessible and not doing anything about it is simply not a good look.
