360 summary
Team Andrews faces accessibility barriers as there are currently no adaptive wheelchair curling leagues in Saskatoon, forcing them to compete in able-bodied leagues.
Steve Draude, a member of Team Andrews, highlights the challenges of accessing curling rinks, such as dealing with crushed rock parking lots that are difficult to navigate in a wheelchair.
Despite efforts by local rinks like the Sutherland to improve accessibility, specific accommodations like setting out ramps are still necessary for wheelchair users to access the building and the ice.
