accessibility

Although no longer active, Marmora and Lake’s former Accessibility Advisory Committee embraced the goals of the “Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act.”  The Accessibility Committee strove to develop, implement and enforce accessibility standards to achieve accessibility for Ontarians with disabilities with respect to goods, services, facilities, accommodations, employment and buildings. The goal of the Committee was to provide universal access for all people, including all ages and abilities, and an overall functional environment, which benefits everyone and offers equal opportunity for employment, community services and volunteer experiences. The Committee was focused on developing policies that promote the principles of dignity, independence, integration and equal opportunity. The Marmora and Lake Accessibility Plan will be updated regularly, and barriers will continue to be assessed and addressed with this goal in mind.
