Students asked to revamp wheelchair symbol - Toronto - CBC News

Students asked to revamp wheelchair symbol - Toronto - CBC News: The familiar blue square wheelchair symbol is badly needs a revamp to reflect the modern world, says Ontario Lieutenant Governor David Onley.

“The present symbol of a stick figure in a wheelchair represents less than three per cent of the total population of people with disabilities,” said Onley, himself a wheelchair user. “We want something that's more inclusive, more comprehensive in who it embraces.”
