Accessibility Information

Visiting our View Street office

  • The TAPS Victoria Office is located in Downtown Victoria at 828 View Street. We are in a brick building with dark green metal awnings that is surrounded by a black iron fence. There is a large blue and white decal of the TAPS logo on the front window.

  • Our office is wheelchair accessible, and our washroom is wheelchair accessible and gender-inclusive. There is a gentle slope leading from the sidewalk to our front door. We do not have an automatic door opener on the outside of the building – if you require assistance, please give our front desk person a wave or ring the doorbell.

  • Paid street parking is typically available along View Street and is enforceable during all of our open hours. The closest City of Victoria parkade is the View Street Parkade. Unfortunately we do not have access to our own free parking.

  • Our waiting area is small – when we are experiencing higher volume (ie. during tax season from March through May) we may limit the number of people who can be in the waiting area at one time and request that you wait outside.

TAPS is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities and a positive user experience for all who visit our website and interact with our digital content. We have taken measures to ensure the accessibility of this site using WCAG guidelines, but there may be some limitations; your feedback is welcomed to help us continually improve and we encourage you to reach out to our front desk or email info[at]tapsbc.ca if you encounter accessibility barriers on our site.

Communicable Disease Information

At this time, masks are optional for clients, staff, and volunteers at TAPS. If you have a scheduled appointment and would like to request that your advocate wear a mask, please let us know. We are also happy to accommodate virtual (video or phone) appointments.

  • We ask that you do not visit our office if…

    • You’re experiencing any cold- or flu-like symptoms (even if they’re mild)

    • You’ve tested positive for or had any symptoms of COVID-19 in the last 10 days 

    • You have recently had close contact with someone with confirmed or suspected symptoms of COVID-19
