Accessibility - Removing Barriers

The Accessibility Advisory Committee (AAC) was established in compliance with Ontarians with Disabilities Act (ODA) which came into effect on December 14, 2001. A new provincial act, the Accessibility For Ontarians With Disabilities act (AODA), was made law in 2005 and the City is continuing its work and following this legislation and the accessibility standards it sets relating to municipal government.

As part of the legislation, each year the committee along with the City's Accessibility Coordinator and Accessibility staff working group develop an Accessibility Plan to identify barriers to persons with disabilities and the municipality's plan for the removal of those barriers.

The Committee includes representatives from the disability community and stakeholder community groups as well as two members of Council: Katie Mahoney, councillor, ward 8 and Patricia Saito, councillor, ward 9.

For more detailed information about the plan or committee, please contact Accessibility Co-ordinator, Diana Simpson at 905-615-3200 ext. 3608 , TTY : 905-615-3411
