Allergies, Animals and Accessibility
ALLERGY NOTICE
Service Animals Only, Please
Service animals are welcome on The Prairie Lily to assist their owners in navigating and feeling safe on board. We know service animals are trained to react to their owner and adapt to the circumstances around them.
All other animals are not permitted on board.
We have a loud signalling horn we are required to sound at certain times. It sometimes scares our passengers, and we are able to let them know its coming! We would hate to have a pet react and bolt – especially when we are on the water and there is no where to run. Additionally, we respect some of our guests have allergies. Again, when we are sailing, space is limited, so it is difficult to ensure everyone is comfortable. We need to make some restrictions to ensure that. Thank you for your understanding.
Wheelchair Accessibility
The Prairie Lily offers assisted wheelchair access. Small and regular-sized wheelchairs can be accommodated. Unfortunately, wider chairs and most power chairs and scooters are beyond our capacity. We do carry a transport wheelchair on board should anyone wish to borrow it during a cruise.
There are two routes for accessing the ship from the parking lot. You can take the ramp next to stairs near the Wonderhub or you can take the paved Meewasin Trail access beginning next the the Shakespeare on the Saskatchewan site.
The images below show the physical access to the ship. Please note, this is main deck access only. We also reserve the outdoor front part of the ship for passengers with mobility issues.
A Note About Wheelchair Accessibility and Water Levels
The slope of access onto the ship differs over the course of the summer and entirely depending upon water levels. During the highest water levels, the slope of our ramp is almost level. As water levels drop, the slope increases. Obviously, this a matter of the physical world around us and beyond our control. However, our dock has an average slope of one-foot drop in 16 feet, well within accepted accessibility standards. That said, typical water levels suggest that late June and early July provide the lowest incline of the ramp to the dock. If you would like to inquire about accessibility, please feel free to call the office at 306-955-5459.
