Virtual Info Session: The Built Environment Accessibility Standard (BEAS)

The Built Environment Accessibility Standard (BEAS) establishes legally binding requirements to help ensure outdoor and public spaces are designed, constructed, and maintained to be accessible to people with disabilities. It requires that organizations within the province of Nova Scotia comply with its design and planning requirements as of April 1, 2026, for all new construction and redevelopment projects.
This session will help professional landscape architects understand the new requirements for accessibility in outdoor spaces, prepare organizations for compliance, and position APALA members as forward-thinking in accessibility matters.
