Igor: You're a Barrier!
While speaking with people in the Discovery Zone about the barriers that stop them from accessing health and community services, transportation is most often cited. Whether it's no access to public transportation, lack of private transportation operators (such as taxis) or lack of access to a car, transportation can be a big impediment for people who must travel for services. Today, we are getting an example of another barrier - weather! Hurricane Igor is making himself known in this area and some people with appointments in the health and community services sector, will probably not be able to make those appointments.
