To implement the Corporate Accessibility Policy and Procedures we’ve developed a plan that explains how we will put into action the Policy over the next 5 years and through to 2021.
At the City, we adopt a coordinated approach to making our programs and services more accessible. We have two main priorities related to accessibility:
- To meet the requirements of the AODA (2005) Standards for Customer Service and the Integrated Accessibility Standard Regulation.
- To build awareness with City staff to support identifying, removing, and preventing barriers for people with disabilities.
To learn more about the City’s strategy for meeting its priorities related to accessibility, please see the Multi-Year Accessibility Plan.
