Accessibility Plan
Our Accessibility Plan outlines our commitment to meet the needs of people with disabilities in a timely manner. We will identify and remove barriers to accessibility. We believe in equal opportunity, providing service to all, and are committed to treating all people in a way that allows them to maintain their dignity and independence.
Our Multi-Year Work Plan sets out the steps in the upcoming years so we can examine and remove potential barriers, both visible and invisible, to allow better access for all. The plan is officially updated yearly since it's our goal to identify and remove barriers in a fluid and ongoing manner.
