Accessibility Advisory Committee

 Accessibility Advisory Committee

This Committee has worked actively since its creation to complete an Accessibility Plan for the Township as required under The Ontario with Disabilities Act, 2001(ODA), and to update the plan annually. The Committee has inspected every park and every municipal building in the Township to plan for accessibility for all.  All areas needing improvement have been included in the plan and all related works must be completed within a specified period of time. The Accessibility Committee has met with various Committees of the Township to ensure that accessibility is included in their planning of events, renovations or reconstruction of facilities, and in long term capital plans.

Public Awareness and Understanding

It is hoped that all businesses in the municipality will consider the need to have their offices, buildings or entrances meet standards to ensure that they are accessible for persons with disabilities.

Please also consider the access from where vehicles are parked up to and including the building. Quite often, the inside of a building is accessible but a person with disabilities may not be able to get up to and into the building.
