St. Luke, Winnipeg – A Virtual Tour |
The Ramp
Accessibility: a serious goal for the parish of St. Luke. As with many other hundred-year-old buildings, St. Luke’s has plenty of stairs, nooks, and crannies scattered on several levels. Until recently, a person with mobility issues could never meet the Rector in the Rector's office, or attend vestry, or go to coffee after Sunday worship, or even get to the rail at the high altar to receive Holy Communion! All this changed drastically in 2007.
The first phase was the construction of this ramp, which permits full access from the floor of the church to the chancel, and to the altar rail, and to the Rector’s office. The second, and major, phase is an elevator, due for completion in the fall of 2007.
