ACCESSIBILITY ADVISORY COMMITTEE – COMMUNITY APPOINTMENT
Want to make a difference in our community?
The Municipality is looking for interested individuals to join our Accessibility Advisory Committee. This committee will provide advice to the municipal council on identifying, preventing and eliminating barriers to people with disabilities in municipal programs, services, initiatives and facilities. This committee will be vital in making our community accessible; one of the first areas of focus for the committee will be developing a five-year municipal accessibility plan.
At least one half of the members of this committee will have a disability or represent an organization that works with and represents people living with disabilities.
As a starting point Disability will be defined to include a physical, mental, intellectual, learning or sensory impairment – including an episodic disability – that in interaction with a barrier hinders an individual’s full and effective participation in society. A definition will be agreed upon by the committee through the process of developing an Accessibility Plan for the County.
