Accessibility Advisory Committee Mandate
It is the AAC’s mandate to assess all public spaces, identify barriers to accessibility, engage with community and provide opportunity for feedback, and develop a plan to remove barriers with a reasonable timeline.
Accessibility is ensuring the ability for everyone, regardless of disability, to have access, use, and benefit from their environment. It means making sure that people with disabilities have access to the physical environment, transportation, information, and communications and to other facilities and services that are open or provided to the public, on an equal basis with others. Accessibility means having necessary conditions to reduce or eliminate the barriers that hinder the full and effective participation of persons with disabilities on an equal basis with others.
A committee, established by Council, has been tasked with developing a feedback tool to engage all residents in removing barriers in how local governments provide services to its residents including all forms of accessibility (mobility, cognitive, sight, hearing).
