Runnymede Community Church in Bloor West Village Toronto has a casual, informal, contemporary worship experience that is relaxed yet reverent.

n 1981, the Canadian Paraplegic Association investigated this issue by contacting some patients at Lyndhurst Rehabilitation Hospital to try and help them determine their needs. The patients had recently sustained spinal cord injuries and would be requiring wheelchair accessible housing with attendant services. It was very evident that there was a shortage of appropriate accommodations. Existing support service projects had extensive waiting lists with a possible vacancy of 1 - 2 per years. Many people were having to face the grim possibility of chronic care institutions, or having to move home to inaccessible environments and put the onus on family members for assistance; hence the birth of Nucleus. That group of patients were the founding consumers of Nucleus. We first requested a meeting with Jackie Rodgers who was with the Accommodation and Support Service Committee of the Ontario Advisory Council for Physically Disabled.

The built environment, transportation, pollutants, access to healthy food, energy costs, access to green space and recreational opportunities can affect all Torontonians, but have a greater impact on marginalized and low-income households. Such environmental issues are taking a higher place on the public agenda, yet the perspectives of disadvantaged groups are not being included as much as they should be. Environment sector work has also been found to be less inclusive than it could be; this means that an important and growing sector is excluding people from opportunities.
