In Ward 2, the First Light Centre for Performance and Creativity offers accessible entrances, washrooms, and an elevator. However, nearby construction has created challenges for accessible drop-off. To ensure access, the Bannerman Park Pool House has also been designated as a voting centre, offering accessible parking and drop-off options. On Election Day, additional parking and road access measures will be in effect, including more accessible spaces. Residents are encouraged to review the full traffic advisory for details.
