At Lépine Apartments, we believe that everyone deserves equal access and opportunity. We’re committed to helping create a more inclusive Canada, one apartment community at a time. For each Lépine build, we keep our residents’ comfort and security top of mind; in addition to choosing ideal locations and creating beautiful designs, we prioritize accessibility throughout the construction process.

That approach makes us a leader in building barrier-free apartment homes. Two of our communities—The Normand in Kanata and Lépine Lodge in Renfrew—have received Rick Hansen Foundation Accessibility Certification™ (RHFAC). The Rick Hansen Foundation is a renowned Canadian organization that delivers on its mission “to inspire, create and deliver innovative solutions that accelerate a global movement to remove barriers to inclusion for people with disabilities.” Its certification program is the first of its kind to comprehensively evaluate the level of meaningful access within buildings and sites. The rating system accounts for user experience among individuals with diverse abilities, including those with mobility, vision and hearing impairments.

Being certified by the foundation means that all essential spaces and features on the property are physically accessible for everyone. We’re proud that The Normand and Lépine Lodge received the RHFAC stamp of approval; both are remarkable multi-residential rental communities, each with a wide range of accessible amenities, including gyms, pools, lounges and greenspaces. But our commitment to inclusive living extends beyond Kanata and Renfrew.

“All our properties are designed and built to the same standard as our certified communities,” says Lépine Apartments Master Builder France Lépine.

“Receiving RHFAC ratings has enabled us to better understand our properties’ physical accessibility and identify areas for improvement, so we can provide all our residents with a welcoming, barrier-free environment from the moment they move in.”

Access the best life has to offer

Every Lépine Apartments community is centrally located, with easy access to outdoor activities, retail and more.
