Our Impact

Canary Organisation is dedicated to creating safer and more accessible environments through diligent enforcement and community support. Within just three months of implementing our monitoring systems, we have significantly reduced the abuse of mobility parking spaces by over 70% at one site, in just three months. This drastic reduction—from an average abuse rate of 70%, with a high of 83%, down to just 20%—underscores our capability to effect meaningful change. By enhancing accessibility, we directly improve the daily experiences of permit holders, ensuring they have access to the spaces designed for their needs.

How We Help

Supporting Our Community

Canary Organisation believes in giving back to the community that we serve. For every successful breach, we contribute $50 to a range of charities including St John, Spinal Support, and local initiatives like the Western Community Centre in Hamilton. Over the past two months, we have donated more than $8,500, directly supporting health, mobility, and community welfare projects. These donations help fund essential services and equipment, enhancing the quality of life for individuals across the community and building a spirit of solidarity and support.

Effective Enforcement

Our approach combines state-of-the-art technology with a deep understanding of mobility needs to ensure that mobility parking spaces are used appropriately. By employing advanced monitoring systems, including cameras and in-house software created with mobility parking enforcement in mind, we are able to detect and address violations effectively. This technology not only helps in reducing abuse rates but also serves as a deterrent, maintaining the integrity of designated parking spaces. Our enforcement is designed to be non-intrusive yet highly effective, ensuring compliance.

Accessibility Assistance

Recognising the financial barriers some people may face in getting their mobility parking permits, we offer financial support to cover the cost of these permits. This initiative is aimed at ensuring that no one is denied access to mobility parking due to financial constraints. While we cannot cover the cost of the doctor visit itself, we ensure that the cost of the permit is not a burden by making the payment to Sommerville or CCS Disability Action on their behalf, thus promoting fairness and accessibility. This support is part of our broader commitment to make mobility accessible to all who need it, reflecting our dedication to inclusivity and equal opportunity.

Testimonials

Hear directly from those we’ve helped:

  • “It's been so much better. For years I had trouble finding a park because of people taking the parks...It’s been so nice not having to worry about that anymore with the new supermarket.” - Direct Testimonial

  • “Despite me getting a little huffy about the ticket, your response was excellent, and much appreciated. I totally agree that people without permits should not use the parks, and unfortunately, it requires monitoring. The cameras are a great idea. Way fewer people use those parks now.” - Permit Holder Feedback

  • "When I contacted your people, they were most obliging and very helpful. Once I showed the card information the situation was dealt with immediately. Major Kudos to your team”- Permit Holder Feedback

  • “… I forgot to put it out, but I called and your team was very helpful and got it sorted in one call. It's been so much better since you've started enforcing these rules. For years, I've struggled with finding a park due to people misusing the spots.” - Permit Holder Feedback

  • “Canary Organisation have been great. They are good at responding and communication. They have compassion and understanding if you have a permit holder. Working down at this shopping center and being the customer side personally we have witnessed physical attacks in disabled parks towards permit holders, from others that want to selfishly park without a permit. Thank you both Nawton community and Canary org. It be great to get that high % down. Hopefully Nawton, our community can support you.” - Facebook Community Group Comment

  • “Hallelujah. I'm so pleased this is happening!!! I'm so grateful to hear this is happening! My husband has been in and out of a wheelchair for awhile now, and we have had many frustrating moments with others using the carparks not designed for them. So this is awesome” - Facebook Community Group Comment
