When: June 13, 2006 from 2 to 4:30 p.m. Where: Mississauga Valley Community Centre 1275 Mississauga Valley Community Centre Hazel McCallion Room What: This forum organized by the City of Mississauga will explore accessibility, "visitability" and universal design. Participants will learn how to incorporate universal design into urban planning models for interior accessibility. "This interior design forum was a logical progression as the first two accessibility forums featured transportation and exterior design," said Carol MacEachern, chair of the AAC. "From these ongoing sessions we aim to not only raise awareness but find solutions."
