Yes, you are able to claim an installation for a chair lift as a medical expense.  Depending on the province, you may also be able to claim a home renovation credit.  Please see the following link for more information, https://www.canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/services/tax/individuals/segments/homeowners/provincial-cred....
