Accessibility at TNT

Program accessibility and physical facility accessibility are related, but they are not the same. We want participants and families to have clear information before they arrive.

Facility Accessibility

TNT is committed to reducing barriers to participation and making taekwondo accessible to as many people as possible.

Our current facility does have some physical accessibility limitations. In particular, the existing washrooms were constructed within structural constraints that prevent them from meeting current barrier-free dimensional standards. As a result, the washrooms may not be usable by some people who use wheelchairs or who require additional transfer or support space.

We do not want families or participants to discover an accessibility barrier only after arriving.

If you or your child have mobility, sensory, communication, behavioural, learning, or other accessibility needs, we encourage you to contact us before or during registration. We can discuss your needs, identify possible accommodations, and be clear about any limitations of the facility.

Prospective participants and families are also welcome to arrange a tour of the facility before registering. This provides an opportunity to see the training space, entrances, washrooms, spectator areas, and other features firsthand, and to discuss any adaptations or supports that may be helpful.

Accessibility at TNT is broader than the physical building. We are working to make our instruction, programming, communication, equipment, policies, and financial supports as inclusive as possible, including through adaptive programming and individualized accommodations.

Our goal is not to decide in advance who can or cannot participate. Wherever possible, we want to work collaboratively with participants and families to determine what is needed for safe, meaningful participation.

Frequently asked question

Is TNT’s facility physically accessible?

Our facility has some accessible features, but it is not fully barrier-free.

One important limitation is our washrooms. Because of the existing building construction, their dimensions cannot currently be expanded to meet modern barrier-free washroom standards. This means they may not be usable by some people who use wheelchairs or require additional transfer or support space.

We are committed to being transparent about this limitation while continuing to remove barriers wherever we reasonably can. Accessibility at TNT also includes adaptive instruction, individualized accommodations, inclusive programming, accessible communication, financial assistance, and working collaboratively with participants and caregivers.

If you are considering TNT and accessibility is important to you or your child, you are welcome to arrange a tour before registering. You can see the facility firsthand, including the training floor, entrances, washrooms, spectator areas, and other relevant spaces, and discuss any supports or accommodations that may be needed.

We would rather help you assess the space directly than make assumptions about whether the facility will or will not work for you.

Land acknowledgement

True North Taekwondo is proud to gather, train, and serve our community in Treaty Six Territory and the homeland of the Métis. We recognize the Cree, Dene, Nakota Sioux, Saulteaux, and Métis peoples who have lived, learned, taught, played, and built community on these lands across generations.

For us, a land acknowledgement is more than a statement about where we train. It is a reminder of how we want to live and serve together. The tenets of Taekwondo—courtesy, integrity, perseverance, self-control, and indomitable spirit—help guide that responsibility. Courtesy calls us to listen and treat others with respect. Integrity asks us to be honest about our shared history and accountable for our actions. Perseverance reminds us that reconciliation and relationship-building require ongoing effort. Self-control calls us to act thoughtfully and with humility. Indomitable spirit encourages us to stand against exclusion and work toward a community in which everyone has the opportunity to belong.

In the spirit of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Calls to Action 87–91 on sport and reconciliation, we are committed to listening, learning, building respectful relationships, reducing barriers to participation, and creating a Taekwondo community in which Indigenous participants and families are welcomed, respected, and able to participate fully.
