Accessibility Plan

The purpose of the Ontarians with Disabilities Act, 2001 (ODA) is to improve opportunities for people with disabilities and to provide for their involvement in the identification, removal and prevention of barriers to their full participation in the life of the Province. To this end, the ODA mandates that each Municipality prepare an annual accessibility plan.

The Ontarians with Disabilities Act 2001 requires that the accessibility plan
include:

a) a report on the measures the municipality has taken to identify, remove
   and prevent barriers;

b) the measures in place to ensure that the municipality assesses its
   proposals for by-laws, policies, programs, practices and services to
   determine their effect on accessibility;

c) a list of the by-laws, policies, programs, practices and services that the  
   municipality will review in the coming year in order to identify barriers;

d) the measures that the municipality intends to take in the coming year to
    identify, remove and prevent barriers; and

e) make the accessibility plan available to the public.
