Leading the Way in Accessibility

At Accessible Places Inc., we believe inclusion should be the standard, not the exception. Our mission is simple: to create spaces where everyone can thrive, regardless of physical ability.

After experiencing accessibility challenges firsthand, Alfred Rochon turned his personal journey into a mission to help others. As a stroke survivor, he understands the daily barriers individuals with disabilities face. Determined to make a difference, he founded Accessible Places Inc. to help transform residential and commercial spaces into inclusive environments.

Through detailed assessments and practical recommendations, we ensure homes, workplaces, and public spaces meet accessibility standards. More than a service, accessibility is a fundamental right—and we are committed to making it a reality for all.
